A newer wheel was designed that fuses 3D printing and 3mm aluminum sheet spokes. After getting the lunar regolith, I see that I need as much traction as possible as it is a very fine powder that is very abrasive. I also made the motor arms a bit easier to print on a FDM style printer, as to bring the cost and complexity to build down a bit. It weighs a bit more, but it is able to got both forward and back unlike the previous version.
