Video is on the way. The wheels slipped a little but it was definitely controllable.

Man, that would be so much fun to drive on. We did a demo at one of the local elementary schools, it was interesting on the slippery gym floor. I can only imagine what solid ice would be like!

The year they decide to do hockey is the year of the tank tread.

Or ice-skate swerve drive.

Take your pick.

2003 was the perfect year to take your robot on the ice of a Hockey rink.

The top of the ramp was the same material they use in the local mall for "indoor ice-less skating".
