Abstract
A wheel that deforms to absorb force is provided. The wheel includes one or more deformable spokes that extend from a central portion of the wheel to an outer portion of the wheel. The spokes are configured to interface against neighboring spokes after a spoke is sufficiently deformed. The neighboring spoke provides some support to the deformed spoke, thereby requiring an increased marginal force to further deform the first spoke. In one embodiment the wheel includes a plurality of pairs of spokes that are configured to interface against each other.
