Re: Robot Base

How do I put a wheel directly to the gearbox(KoP gearbox).

To my knowledge you can't, not without buying hex shafts and bearings (not cheap) and basically ditching the kit chassis. also the gear reduction would be WAY to low. I think there is typically something in the range of a 3:1 reduction done with sprockets after the gearbox usually.

And how do I put a wheel that is assembled just on one side of a screw?

With a screw, again it is challenging. The kit bot just isn't made to do this. Someone who has actually done this should elaborate on this not me.
