Typically robots with wheels on their feet require a longer foot- a pole that will go back and extend its total foot radius. This way when the robot leans back it has a steady surface to lean on, while it can lean forward and benefit from the wheel,

from what i hear this is your first robot do the $50 tutorial it will teach you and won't give you a headache..... The robot you trying to build has a lot of physics and what not acting on it and personally I wouldn't attempt it

As with any robot mechanical design, start with CAD to plan it all out 100%. If you want to make robots properly, you need to learn CAD ;D

can you send a link were to download it
