Let your imagination run wild, I always have to re-jump the hurdle when I cad something I know will only be 3D printed, as past experience has taught me to CAD for whatever machining capabilities I've had at hand.
3D printers only recently joined this list, and its been fun.
go crazy, you're allowed to

Notice the 7 spokes  But in all seriousness we knew we could do some really cool designs and there were team members that really wanted to, but we decided to play it safe for our first year doing this with such an important robot part. Expect some much cooler wheels in future years if we continue printing wheels which i personally hope we do
