Hi everyone,
First, I am completely new to DIY robotics (but interested for a long time) and it is the discovery of EZ Robot (and its community) that has decided me to take that step... As you can imagine, it is most probable that I will have questions, doubts, and therefore need for help
I have just received my EZB kit, open it and tested it... I am very excited... but the deal with my wife is: "it is a Christmas gift, so you don't touch it before Christmas".... So, in the meantime, I have decided to take down my U-Command Wall-E to see how i will handle it. And then, i have met my first difficulty: i don't find a way to remove the wheels from the motors. I don't know if there is a hidden screw or something, and i don't want to break something in the process. so any advice at this (really early) point will be appreciated. Here is a picture :
Thank you all and a special thanks to DJ Sures for his great robot kit and EZB
By the way, I am French (nobody's perfect ;)) so maybe my English will sometimes be limited to make myself clear, so don't hesitate to make me reformulate my questions if needed.

Hey there, welcome on board and that's a great start. To take the wheel off simply drill a small hole in the center of the wheel and using a philips screw driver to remove the hidden screw inside, the wheel will come off easily. Btw your English is fine!
Check out my Wall-E build here that might help you out.

Thank you very much for the welcome, and the solution, Louis T. I thought about this hidden screw, but didn't dare look at it.... I think i will have to take more risks if i want to progress in my first project.
I have taken a look at you Wall-E and it is really impressive, as many projects presented here. I will certainly be inspired by them, but there is still a long way to go...
Welcome! It's ok to be French.
We don't mind nationalities at all as EZ-B knows no borders.
And your English is MUCH better than some english speakers I know.
Louis T's Wall-e is the envy of a few of us. Maybe one day I will ask him to make the head he did for me!
