I must say...this is quite possibly the most beautiful wheel I have ever seen in FIRST.

Can we all get a weight on it?

I have seen the bio-hazard before, but still this is a very nice wheel.

Very nice wheel, and I love the homage to IFI's traction wheels. Beautiful colors as well.

Sure, as shown with all parts (2 hex bearings, all hardware, sprocket, and sprocket spacer) is 1 pound.

Out of curiosity, why anodize the curved plate when it will be covered by traction material?

Yes, one pound per wheel.

You can see the tabs from where the wheels hook together and we did not like the look not anodized.

Laser cut actually, then the curved plate shape was created using a hand roll form tool in our shop.

Super cool!

Great job calibrating the roller... that's an impressively toleranced part for a harbor freight special benchtop roll-n-break.

I certainly hope you're going with blue nitrile treads to complete the look.

Assuming you are using hardened aluminum, what hardness of 5052 are you using? T3,T4,T6?

We use 5052-H32 for pretty much all of our laser cut parts, it is a pretty good middle of the road material in terms of cost, strength, and formability. This is also a material that our sponsors stock so it is readily available during build season. 5052 also has good weldablity although it was not a factor for these parts.
