The prototype wheel is now printed. Pictures will be posted hopefully by tomorrow. The wheel currently still needs its roughtop traction material that i'm ordering from IFI.

and it only took 5 hours to print!

Yes, the wheel is able to move a bot, but if anything is in its way, it just spins. The roughtop should hopefully fix that problem.
