If we do build our own, they'll prolly be bigger. I think bigger ones are easier to make, although I'm not totally sure about that. 6" would be a good size, I think.

The main problem we had with the smaller wheels was clearance. I think our robot ended up with < .5" of ground clearance.

Thank you very much. =-]
That's probably the best argument for us using them again in the future.
