The Dynamically Augmented Wheel System (DAWs) is about as nerdy as it sounds, also, its way too cool. Designed with inspiration from bike wheels and human foot, DAWs aims to offer greater maneuverability for cars, maintaining good traction. The wheel is divided into eight parts, controlled by servos, a drive gear and magnets, to allow the wheel to lean while maintaining traction. Designer Charles Pyott completed the design in 10 weeks, on a $800 budget.
