Spy Car Bad Execution

I think that their choice of spikes was a very poor one. They should have been more like a bulb out. Or a four sided butt plug if you want to think of it like that, so the spikes don't plug the hole they make. That one should have been retested and the results voided.

Yeah they absolutely retested this with hollow spikes.

I’ve just rewatched a ton of them recently since they’re on one of the free channels and were at one point free on the discovery app

Possession and manufacture of caltrops is illegal in California. I don't remember the episode, did they go out of state for that one?

Regardless, "proper" caltrops are made out of thick wall tubing, rather than solid rods. And a hole is drilled in each of the two tubes near the joint where they are welded together. That lets air flow out of the tire, even if the other end is stuck in the ground. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Caltrop.jpg
