3D model description

Based on the hugely popular Highly Configurable Wheel, this is the very latest in robot wheel technology. By simply adding an "r" to a standard 6-spoked wheel, we achieve this simple and elegant solution that expands the terrain capabilities of your robots exponentially... just one little "r" -- it's a solution that Paul Erdos would almost certainly describe as "from The Book."

With its 6-spork design, this wheel leverages natural sciences, mechanics, pi, and even the culinary arts to provide unmatched traction on natural solid terrains ranging from moon rock to chopped chicken, while the highly-engineered spheroidical bowls make for lightening-fast performance through fluid terrains, such as water, French Onion Soup, and Pennzoil 10w-40. Perhaps most interesting, though, is its unrivaled performance in non-Newtonian media, such as my wife's Sicilian Spaghetti.

BONUS FEATURE: Dandelions are edible! Unlock the "Weed & Feed" feature by affixing the wheels to high-power motors on your robot, then tear through your dandelion-riddled yard, following closely behind with your mouth open.

Good luck printing it. ;)

COMING SOON: Version 2 will feature a "Scythed Roman Chariot" option featuring sporks protruding from the hub.
