The wheel assemblies are 1/4" ABS with .5x.5x.125" angle added for rigidity. We can laser cut the ABS parts in a few minutes; then it's simply a matter of cutting the angle to length and match drilling it to the ABS.

The bearing blocks are of similar construction, but are really ugly right now. I'm still working on those.

If possible, we'll bolt the transmissions through just one wall of the C-channel. Otherwise, we'll laser cut 1/2" ABS inserts to stick inside the C-channel to prevent it from buckling where it's bolted through.
