Overview

Just about every mode of transportation revolves around wheels. Bikes, trains, skateboard, airplanes, cars, and even tanks all move on wheels. Even our beloved robot rolls around on some. In the Wheels Contest, we want to see what YOU can make with wheels - either by improving or hacking your bike, car or friendly defense robot or creating a new wheeled item from scratch! Whether your build is an old-school chariot that Judah Ben-Hur would recognize or a postmodern deconstruction of the concept of wheelness, we want to see it!

Share any wheel-related project for your chance to win a TOKYO Citizen folding bike or cameras to capture the adventures your wheels take you on!
