I would say Wire EDM looks likely here. Either that or a well tuned 5 axis water jet (but I don't think you can really expect that resolution and lack of taper at that thickness). Plus Wire EDM seems like a bit more of a Bruce Wayne style manufacturing process.

The fillets on the lightening were hand done for sure. (so maybe milling on those)

Regardless, great looking parts. Hopefully with the modifications to the plastic ones that AM came up with fix the issue for some of the other people having issues. I know my team had serious issues with the vex plastic mecanum wheels the first year they were released and before the inserts went to metal the year after.
