Seems like it would only work for objects with large, flat bottoms—if you tried to use it barefoot it would likely rip your toes off.

This is just a crude early version. Eventually the tiles will be significantly smaller, quieter, and less prone to ripping toes off.

I wonder if a layer of Ripstop over the tiles would reduce performance. I could imagine fabric being a less expensive option than R&Ding more proprietary tech like making the tiles even smaller.

Edit: Glossed over the fact the tiles rotate. Nevermind me.
