My team .. 384 manufactured our own wheels on a CNC lathe. I designed them and then we took it to one of our sponsers to get it made from wood. We made about 3 sets. Each wheel got some timing belts apoxyed to em to make em get the traction they need.

Also.. we have an optional 5th wheel that can come down when needed so that we can get high torque for towing.. pushing.. or balancing.. COOL HUH?
That 5th wheel was one of the reasons why our team was awarded the leadership in control award at our regional (2nd year in a row we won it)

Later..
