No bot actually needs buzzard wheels. And its not that they're bad, its that shinies weigh less.

Buzzard wheels are like rubber wheels; they're even almost exactly the same diameter.  The reason you would want to use them is to get slightly lower ground clearance on a wedge bot.  However, most people just use shinies, or rubber wheels instead of buzzards (because buzzards don't look good on all bots, I'm guessing.)
