Re: Wheel contest

How does the inside of the wheel attach to the outside? Am I missing something? Also, 1.5lbs is quite heavy for a wheel that size. (in FRC anyhow) What is the material? Also, you may not want to put a zillion holes in it. That will take a while to drill. And how do you plan to make the cutouts? Laser? Waterjet? You can't mill that. The milling cutter has some radius to it. The machinists I know like to use a 3/8" diameter tool at the smallest. Makes life easier.
