Hi Andy, the other members of the list would correct me if I am wrong but I think you can easily screw/unscrew a wheel. Unscrew them with care, and screw them back as parallel as possible. It happens that a wheel touches the main board and the robot therefore has troubles to move.
To screw a wheel, simply hold the wheel strongly (not just the robot) and rotate the central metallic part on the side of the wheel. Be sure to not damage the axis of the motors during this operation : always hold the wheel tight. Regards, Alex.
