Wheel upgrade

A project log for Vernon the Vacuous Vacubot 2000

An off-the-shelf shop-vac vacuum cleaner converted into an ESP32-powered robotic vacuum platform.

Original wheels were way too small/thin, meaning Vernon struggled to get over anything other than the most smoothest of floors. 

One of our members designed/printed these new chunkier wheels and tyres and we redesigned/re-printed the vacuum head mount to compensate for the new wheels size, meaning Vernon is now fully off-road capable and ready to park across 3 parking spots diagonally like a real lifted-truck.
