Hello, love the robot. My dad and I built a robot back in 1977 using the same motorized wheels. It’s long gone now, but I am documenting it, the design, and with some of the schematics I have of it to preserve its history as well. Can you take pictures of one motorized wheel from all sides and provide them to me? I’m mocking up or robot in SketchUp and would like to model it with the (as close to the original) size and dimensions as possible. If it’s not too much trouble, pics from all sides and possibly a dimension to show size?
Thanks,
Joe
