Step right up and place your wheel orders here.
We got all kinds of wheels we got big wheels, small wheels, wide wheels, skinny wheels we got em all.
Brand new in the lineup is the Anderson MK3 97mm diameter spoked wheel.
This wheel is lighter than a red wheel and features a steel hub that protrudes past the end of the wheel so you can get a spanner onto it and really tighten it up hard. In fact these wheels have actually been successfully used in an event without the left hand screw although obviously we don't recommend this. Radiating out from there are 5 shore 60 D hardness spokes which connect to an outer rim. This has just that little bit of give to it to help reduce shock loadings on your gearbox. The treads are made of a new much stronger shore 55A hardness material which should last longer than your bot itself. The treads are 22mm wide. For reference colsons and team wyachi wheels are 65A and our old ones were 60A. It is possible to re-tread these wheels if desired for a discount on the as new price.
All this can be yours for the low sum of $19.9995 ex GST + Postage.
At the Anderson Robot Wheel company we also manufacture a wide range of "MK 2" wheels. These wheels feature a hard (shore 60D) inner hub around the patent pending Anderson "Drill chuck replacement hub". These wheels are available in varying widths to suit your particular requirement up to the maximum specified.
120 dia 30 wide max
82 dia 24 wide max
71 dia 31 wide max
60 dia 50 wide max
These wheels are also available for the sum of $19.9995 ex GST + postage. (Yes we know the spoked ones are better bang for your buck but they are produced with a different system which is geared for higher production volumes.)
The Anderson Robot Wheel Company has been branching out.
Recent developments in spare time technology have lead to the production of moulded gearbox and motor mounts. Provided as two blocks these mounts firmly grip the gearbox so that it cannot rotate or flex and another to secure the motor. Each block is 64mm wide,59mm high and 20mm thick and comes with 4x 5mm steel mounting lugs embedded in each block. At a total weight of 140gms these are perhaps the best investment you can make in your drive system. Remarkably a set of these are also available for the low low price of $19.9995 ex GST + postage. Photos of the mounts will be available soon.
(note all prices rounded to the nearest dollar prior to calculations)
Please place your orders and questions in this thread and a representative of the Anderson Robot Wheel Company may eventually get around to reading it. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

I exploded into a fit of laughter when I got to there I noticed your varying diameters and widths all scale to use the same amount of urethane in each wheel Smart thinking for keeping production costs even across the range
Any possibility of custom jobs? Say if a customer wants a set of the 82 x 24 wheels with a 17mm bore? Interested in 4 wheels if possible _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Actualy, looks like i'm going to have to put them on hold Nooo money to spare currently. Yamums wheels were the ones you and Jake threw together, they were 80mm diameter and had the hex steel center for standard drill motors.
Sounds like you're gonna be a little busy anyway!
I'll let you know. _________________ ( •_•)

Hey Russell,
reckon you'd have some time before robowars to knock this up for me?
ive got the drum and bearings and i can weld the teeth on no worries. also might need a motor pulley belt and the v grooves cut into it, so pretty well just like plan gs
moneys no problem, just so long as i can have it before the big event! i sent a few of the internal pictures of the drum to your private message to make sure i got the design right.
