Material typically runs about $15/lb. Might sound like a lot, but that's a lot of material for a lot of parts.

Actually a RepRap printer that would be able to make a pretty decent wheel is around $500- $1000 depending on where you buy the parts and on which model you buy. That is also an un-assembled version (I'm assuming that a robotics team would be able to put it together).
