Yes, It was said at the FIRST Forum that we will have a different supplier than Small Parts for 2003 but would not specify which one. This is due to the fact that the increasing # of FIRST teams has caused Small Parts to become Small Inventory. I hope the new supplier is McMaster Carr. McMaster is really great but their biggest round aluminum stock is 5" diameter. Perhaps the additional hardware list will be changed so we can buy stuff like that from local places. You could also cut circles out of really thick plate however that is still illegal for 2002 rules.

Has anyone ever made Delrin wheels? That would be really cool too and sooo light.
