Omnibot Tires

Anyone have an issue with the rubber tires on their omnibot falling apart? What did you/can you do to fix or replace the rubber?

Example of mold making supplies, you could copy a whole robot with a half gallon of this stuff, its great for making castings incase you ever need to mold a replacement part. Theres liquid plastic out there too if you want them to be clear hard plastic' just let me know i will link it.

@bret.tallent - If you do the mold, let us know how that turns out. I have a Hobby Lobby right down the street from me.

I had one other idea... it's probably one of the more difficult to pull off. Maybe you could find some rubber toy tires where the rubber was removable from the hub. They'd have to be the same diameter as the Omnibot wheels. Then you could slide the toy tire rubber off the hub and use that rubber on the Omnibot wheel? confused

I'm picking up an omnibot 2000. Not sure what shape the tires are in... But If I need to I'll be making a silicone mold and casting some up. I'll post up my progress if I need to go that route.

I didn't need any right now, was thinking of buying a bot that needed them but spent my money elsewhere.

If anyone of you ever finds a working solution on the rubber threads, pls post a photo here! Also, and this is off-topic, if someone ever gets to mold/copy Omnibot 2000 arm gears - would be great to know how. Regards, Mike
