Here's my old school wooden wheel.



Maybe not the most practical...

Random design for fun. 3 inches; the iProperties box says it's .189 lbs...





The tread should have more raised lines on it between the FIRST logo imitations, but the emboss was taking forever to calculate the way it is now, so I left that out for now.

Wow, that's hot. You've got to tell me how you did the FIRST logo on the curved surface like that.

[Dan Zollman]

After revolving the inside part of the tire, I created a sketch normal to the tire's surface. Then I drew up the FIRST logo. (It's just an imitation of the logo; I guess you could trace a sketch on top of the real logo image to make it exact. All those dimensions are there just because I wanted it to be fully constrained.)



Then I made a rectangular pattern of the logo, inside the same sketch, making sure that the width of the pattern did not extend past pi * diameter of tire surface.



Then I embossed the sketch, choosing a raised emboss and "Wrap to Face" with the tire surface.



You could also emboss one instance of the logo and circular pattern the Emboss as a feature.

I needed something stronger than our typical omniwheels because they'll be cantilevered and exposed in the design I'm working with now.

There's no reason wheels can't show a bit of team spirit
