Kris Verdeyen has a reputation beyond repute

118 had a total of eight wheels on the robot - six wheel drive plus the mini me's two wheels.

They were machined out of aluminum, and the six base wheels together weighed a total of two pounds. The outside edge was knurled for traction, but when that proved to be insufficent, we added some non-slip belt.

Personally, I liked 624's five wheels. Very grippy, but big enough so that they didn't hurt the carpet.
