Actually, cast molding so few parts could be pretty expensive. Though they don't need too high of tolerances, you've gotta cut a die set most likely from a solid block of a special steel alloy, spend the time to CNC it, plus the cost of the material you're making the wheels from... that's not TOO cheap, especially since you'd need to charge that all of that out at true hourly cost on the bill of materials because high school students probably won't be able to watch the whole process through...
Just some thoughts,
