Yeah, the idea with those pillars is that the bolts or skateboard wheels will fail before the pillar. Which means we might lose one or two support wheels but the chassis will remain intact and we just replace the broken parts.

Its on the side, but being sponsored by the university. So we get access to their resources. We actually have everything we need to do it ourselves anyway but we cannot afford the ludicrous price tag >£7K.
