Make a CAD design for the wheels #3

Goal : Design a wheel for the racecar.

Requirements : We need to already have some parts: The cassis with the axis and the type of motor that we want, to get the measurements for the wheels.

[x] Try different materials, which one would work on the racetrack in the curves
[ ] Check what materials are available for cutting with the CNC
[ ] Create a CAD file of the wheels measurements

Tried different materials: Rubber, acrylic and wood by taking a toy car and replacing a wheel with the material. Best combination seems to be a wooden wheel with a rubber around to make it stick on the ground in curves.

However, I thought about just using the toy wheels cars - have to check with the TA @feeds - would that be ok?

Hi, I think we only have one sample of the toy car you used, and since you want to build two cars, you would have to find something else for the second one anyways. Please design your own wheel!

Ok, the CAD follows this design:
