Looks good to me, how did you get those wheels so perfect,  they are home made?

After uve got the body right,   the brain of a robot can be a separate thing you can do any time after, pretty much a brain can be interchanged between bots,  just depends if it can handle the body.

My controller im working on handles legged motion, so it handles wheels really easy if I wanted to.

Homemade! All you need is some cardboard, 2 different-sized plates/bowls/pots, a knife, and a pencil. Just trace around the larger plate, center the smaller plate in that circle, and trace that, cut out the lines, and tada! Then you’ve got an oversized washer shape, 2 of those make a wheel, just sandwich the spokes/props and secure them with glue. For the tire part, I found some cardboard with one glossy side, cut out some strips, glued those around the outside, and held them together with tape while they set.

I guess its a case of modern society having perfect circles everywhere in the olden days im thinking there were less of them, so it was harder to do.

Thanks for the meth!    next time i need a wheel ill try to not to stuff it up completely again.
