Re: pic: Blizzard proto base

I guess wood vs aluminum wheels or body really depends on team resources and what were used to. Our team has a local metal supermarket so we use aluminum for the body and mill using a Bridgeport digital readout mill. At school our tech department has an open CNC which technically could be used on aluminum and when we tried one summer it worked but took for ever and we decided it was not worth the time or effort. Wooden wheels are super easy to make and we've never thrown a tread or cracked a wheel according to our mentor. We've always made the wheels on a lath but this year since I've learned to CNC I'm going to try and make it on that so to cut our manufacturing time in half.

The flange on the outside is to space the bumper from the bolt heads holding the wheel shafts and Bosch extrusion
