P.S.- Obviously this could vary depending on the wheels you actually design. I'm just speaking from experience in terms of the wheels I've designed in the past.

Jamie,
The Poofs/RAWC also have years of experience perfecting and optimizing their wheel designs year after year. Their standardized drivetrain which is then adapted to the game on a yearly basis is something that always gives them an edge in both manufacturing time and during the robot design process (much the same as Team 25). If you check out their older wheels you can see a pretty cool "evolution in design" process.
