We need to find a better solution for this issue.

jmvega commented 5 years ago

I've been trying to find a tail wheel for the PiBot similar to the one I used at the beginning of this project, which was by Parallax and I found it in its website [2] but, as you can see, it is very expensive (4$ from US). So, I have also tried to find cheaper solutions... Aliexpress! And I found a couple of very interesting options [3] and [4].

In short, I would order about 20 units of no. [3].

Bests,

Julio

Hi Julio.

Indeed, the second option is very interesting. We already had the third option in the first prototype and it's very heavy, expensive and big. I think it's a good idea to add the second option to the list of components.
