Started Working on Replacing Dome Drive Wheel

I've decided that I'd like to have droid #1's dome spin a little bit faster, so I am replacing the 88mm outer diameter inline skate wheel with a 110mm outer diameter wheel. In this way, each rotation of the motor shaft will spin the dome about 25% faster.



I removed the dome drive from the droid. I needed to use some needle nose pliers to pull the segment of rod that pins the wheel to the shaft adapter.



Next, it was time to drill a hole in the new wheel for the segment of rod that will secure it to the shaft adapter.



Mmm... close, but it could be better.



I ran out of time for today, but tomorrow I plan to try again and nail the center point of the wheel.
