Your $6000 doesn't come close to the cost of the kit + your first regional. It may have been nice to see 6 in the kit, but for the time being it would be good to just be patient and slide around priorities. Work on prototyping / designing ball mechanisms or bench test 1/2 your drive train with the wheels you do have. You can draw some relatively solid conclusions with some simple tests with half a drive train. Or do as we did, watch some of the videos people who have more.

At the very worst you could do as Andy suggested and order the thin strips you will be able to test the goals with this, and it won't have to replace them as its just testing for your goals.
