Shaping the Path Ahead: Final Rover Wheels 3D-Printed After Iterations and Team Discussions

After multiple iterations and load tests, the team finalized the LEAP-ONE wheel design. Test prints proved traction and durability; Vighnesh then produced the final 3D-printed wheels. This marks a critical mobility milestone as the rover prepares for field trials, with a robust wheelset ready to handle rough terrain and real-world testing.

Vighnesh leads the print effort, turning design debates into a ready-to-roll reality

Another exciting milestone has been reached as our team finalized the design of the rover's wheels. After multiple design iterations and in-depth discussions within the team, the final model has been locked in.

To validate our approach, we produced test wheels that allowed us to assess performance under load and refine critical details. With those insights, Vighnesh successfully produced the finalized wheels, marking a key step toward completing the rover's mobility system.

This achievement highlights not only the technical precision behind our design process but also the creativity and adaptability that 3D printing enables. The rover now has its foundation for navigating upcoming field trials'ready to roll into the next phase of development.
