Sweet! Can't wait to see you guys at GTR Central. By the looks of that gearbox I'm sure you've been practicing a lot.

Nice camera work guys. I wanted to do a similar thing with the tracking shots and the defenses close up, but you know, TIME :yikes:

Your robot looks Awesome! One question: What is the reasoning behind painting some of your wheels? What is for aesthetics or is there some functional reasoning behind it?

[Abhishek R]

Favorite reveal so far, hands down.

The white clearly signifies snow & ice tires. Canadians know how to roll in winter...

That wasn't paint in some of the scenes. I believe it was strategic applications of MEMuRM (Mobility Enhancing Mu Reducing Material). In a couple of shots, it was clearly MEMuRT a specific form of MEMuRM.

If you guys end up sticking with the white material, you should consider branding them "Ice-Tires".
