The stepper motors are about 42mm square and 32 mm<br> deep. So I'm thinking that 50mm dia wheels and with rubber or plastic tyres<br> would be about right. I have access to a lathe and could turn up some out<br> of aluminium. Anyone know where I could get hold of suitable aluminium rod<br> or plate? I've been looking at the Nalco site and they have 50mm dia rod<br> which weighs 5.3kg/m and as their minimum cut length is 1m its probably<br> going to be pricey. Anyone have any suggestions for alternatives?<br> <br> Thanks<br> <br> Richard<br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Chchrobotics mailing list, web site: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
