While keyways are nice they have flaws such as loose keys and the key exploding since all the torque is applied at that one point

For practicality i would use a similar method to that which secures the tires to the axles of your car, there are four to eight pins which are parellel to the shaft and are inserted into the wheel, very strong(it can withstand whatever you car dishes out and i challenge you to build a competition legal robot that dishes out more torque than my 1979 Trans Am, so much that it can snap through and average hub built correctly and like i described)

Do you have any pictures of this design?
