[Attention Surplus Disorder]

This study, it should be noted, was performed on a series of 10 vermincycles aka “rodent wheels” constructed out of passivated high-strength aircraft aluminum alloy machined to tolerances of +/- .0001 mm at a cost of $837,300.

So? Custom-built research equipment is never cheap and if you want accurate data, your equipment needs materials with appropriate properties and low tolerances.
