You left the tapped holes in the solid model for the ring to mount to? Do you plan to use the rapid prototyped parts, or aluminum machined versions? I hope its the latter, because no RP process will produce that wheel with enough strength for a FIRST robot. Those wheels had a very small factor of safety as machined aluminum, RP is just scary. Maybe I am missing something?
