Thanks for the offers of help with Micromouse wheels, and to Mark Atherton who phoned up.
I have to confess that my request for help with micromouse wheels dates from a few years ago!
I blame my computer of the time for the date of 2058 which seems to confuse different mailers differently. Sorry for the confusion.

I made the wheels from aluminium purchased from the scap yard in Annex road. This was at the time when you could forage for ages looking for what you wanted. I made two wheels from a single piece of scrap but ended up having to hacksaw them apart as the parting tool was eating too much precious metal. I really should finish that project sometime.


Kay, I have a baffle for your tin man.
