Its the off-season so we have been taking it nice and easy, we have probably been working on it for over a month, if you take out design and it probably took 3 days.

In a build season environment we could probably have 4-6 of these done in 3-4 days (give or take a few depending on when the waterjet is open and when we can get the hex put in the bevel gears and axles made).

The wheels would be the weakest point, in my opinion, since everything else is .25" plate and .5" hex.

http://banebots.com/pc/WHB-WS-174/T40P-174BO-HS4 is where we got the wheels, but i can't find a number for how much they can hold, although I'm pretty sure that having 3 wheels per module and having 3-4 modules on a robot that the wheels would be fine.
