It's quite a bit of material removal as well.

2 robots with 6 wheels is 12 of the $20 bearing blocks, or $240.
Aluminum for all the bearing blocks is under $40, and I don't expect to purchase any new tooling for this. That's a savings of $200, or the price of one drive gearbox.
We're still not sure how much money we'll have by the start of build season, but every dollar counts!
