I'm taking T2's approach to the next level on Rango. I even bought black screws for extra cool points.

having jsut read through all this and watched that video can i safely assume that it is now almost impossible to get those wheels or did i miss something obvious
I got the last pair of orange wheels.
The Robo Challenge guys aren't making wheels any more. We're all in the process of finding an easy way of making our own. There are a few methods kicking about if you would like any info.
yes please good sir
ok, erm, I will find links precisely showing you but the basic gist is to melt a nut into a plastic wheel. The official method is with a home made jig and blow torch etc to heat the nut up, then scientifically use a drill press to put the hot nut in. I find a hob ring works well and the output of a duff drill to hold and press the nut.
Easiest way is just to buy some of the Bearing boy wheels, or i found some suitable ones on Ebay, and some 3/8 unf Brake pipe connectors and heat them up, then you just press them into the wheels and make adjustments by eye.

lol i just drill it out to 0.5 bigger than the flat of the brake pipe connector and hammer them in
