I thought upholstering furniture was next year's game objective.

That's funny. I thought the basic design was well known since 2004...

That baby must be going at least 88 mph, because it seems to have broken the spacetime continuum...

Re: pic: 233 Teaser???

so you are saying that this is a wheel? I cant even imagine what it could do... unless it helps get ringers of the ground, much like a skateboarder would kick his skateboard up... i cant wait to see it in person.

Re: pic: 233 Teaser???

is there a specific reason you guys don't powdercoat the pocketed area of that part??

Because then you can't see the pretty toolpaths

Re: pic: 233 Teaser???

I agree that the toolpaths are pretty but that means you need to mask up the pocket before it gets coated, more work for less pink!!

I think they do the pockets after it gets coated.

Maybe this wheel cusions the falling of their ramps

Re: pic: 233 Teaser???

That is correct!

Oh and David Guzman, we actually pre-drill the toolpaths before powder coating, and then cut a little bit more afterwards. Why? Weight and for the reason above.

Trust me, it looks better with the toolpaths than with the powdercoat over it. Just think of it like painting over a mahogany wood; you just don't do it. You have to see the beautiful grain of the wood.
