Another reason why we decided to go for a sheet metal wheel cage is because we wanted a versatile part. By making it sheet metal, we were able to have both a 3 inch and a 4 inch configuration, so we had the ability to manufacture both easily.

The prototype we built up has the 4 inch configuration, it was supposed to be the 3 inch, but some drawings got mixed up and the 4 inch configuration was sent to our sponsor instead. This resulted brought up a few problems with the design, but nothing a dremel couldn't fix.
