Coming from a team that is planning on 3D printing some wheels next year, what material were you originally using?

Yes, they did get approved, but we decided not to use them... We made passive climbers that were able to be actuated for North Star. A lot simpler and safer.

Glad it was approved, but they seemed a little over-engineered to me for a simple 10-point climb. Glad you guys figured something else out! Congrats on the regional win at North Star and I am looking forward to stopping by your pits at champs!
