For the lower wheel we are planing on making them our selves. Probably out of 6061 both sides are identical in regards to the wheel. We designed them to be ran on our tiny cnc machine one operation and then cut from the block on a table top layth. Our biggest concern is that our steering motors wont have the power to turn under static load. Most likly will be using blue nytrox treed from mcmaster carr.

We were geared for 12.5-14 fps we changed several times within the season for different reasons. For the new one we are hoping at gearing at about 14.5-15 fps with the efficiency improvements but that is still in the air.

Defense is not a problem for us in terms of pushing we will play passive defense by turning our wheels against their primary pushing force so they cant back drive out motors and have to brute force over our large surface area wheels. And if we have to give a bump we can do accelerate pretty fast to deture anything.
