Rapid prototyping by FIRST teams is fascinating. It offers some advantages in saved time and money, but it can also make the manufacture of some complex parts seem a bit too easy. I'm curious to learn more about your experiences.

Right now my team is using a RTP to protoype some wheels.

don't worry about it being too easy, it can only make prootypes as the material is not near strong to be functional in nearly all cases.
