Arducopter Shock-Wheels

I designed this set of shock-absorbing wheels to soften my copter landings. They are printed using Shapeways' "Light, Strong & Flexible" material, and will deform under pressure.

They seem to do the job, but I have not tried any hard landings yet. The next rev might be designed for a little more rigidity, but I will use them for a while first to find the weak spots.
