Large diameter wheels give your robot low torque but high velocity. So if you already have a very strong motor, then you can use wheels with larger diameters.
-
But if your motor is weak (such as if it does not have any gearing), you want to use a much smaller diameter wheel. This will make your robot slower, but at least it has enough torque to go up a hill!
-
Wheel width. You do not want it too wide as it causes increased resistance to rotating the wheel on a surface.

This robot tutorial should help you with the mechanical aspect of building your very first robot. You should have already read my build your first robot tutorial before moving on to this tutorial.
