I’m counting 15 medium sized BB wheels for each roller
At $2 each for bulk purchasing that’s only really $30 with probably $5-10 worth of spacers if using VEXpro ones
If you look at a decent alternative such as 1.5” OD Latex tubing stretched over an aluminium tube, you are probably going to be looking at $20-30( depending on what length you purchase) just for the Latex tubing, and $5 for the Al tube so there isn’t much of a price difference.
Plus a ½ hex shaft is much easier to interface with other COTS parts

Let this be a hint to the hardware teams. Deliver that robot early and give the software and driving team time with the robot. IR3 has proven it can be done. - Doug Leppard [more]
