What wheel is that? Allot of cantilevered load for that single mounting plate and those welds. How is this going to be driven? Is it a module or are you going to use a separate power pack? Only way to know what you got is to put it on a fully loaded robot frame and drive the hell out of it. See what wears. Igus bushing instead of bronze?
There are internal support braces that will keep the lower part rigid. It is a module. 1 Cim 1 mini cam per module. Also it's worth noting that on the final version we will be using our own custom 2" performance wheel instead of the wheel you see there.
