I am going to build a small robot just for the fun
of it.
I am preferring to use a stepper motor rather than a servo
for noise proposes. I need a very quiet bot if i'm
going to run it around on my desk at work.
Since I am already comfortable wiring and coding
for the small stepper motors parallax has available
on thier web site, I am wanting to use 2 of these.
My questions is: Where does one find wheels etc. to
mount on the shafts of these specific motors?
What have some people hooked up to these motors with
success?
of it.

as all sorts of airplane wheels. Most of the time you can come up with a way
to mount them directly or make a simple adapter.
Might surf the 'net a bit and see what others have done. Keep in mind a
small stepper motor probably won't drive a wheel directly -- you will have
to use a gear, belt or rim drive to move any weight.
