Re: COTS Parts made just for FIRST Robots

A 6"x2" aluminum disc costs about $25 for the material. Machining that into a nice wheel would actually be quite a bit of work (it is not just a plate). We may be looking for the impossible here (in regards to the wheels and the price), but this is exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I'm just curious on what the market would be for FIRST-specific items.
