ah yes that reminded me of the reason! we went with big wheels for potential obstacles. It's easy enough to design down but not so much to design up. If it's a flat field then we will probably use small wheels but for now we're going big in case there is anything where it's advantageous to go with big wheels like obstacles or game pieces. If that's not needed then we can pretty easily shrink the design down accordingly
