Brecoflex treads, 2 CIMs per side, approx. 24:1 reduction from motors using ToughBoxes and sprockets
Fits under tunnel
Climbs bump easily (but crashes down hard!)
Center of gravity about 8" above the ground - basically untippable
Lifts itself at end of game, with bar for alliance partner to hang from (bar not shown in pictures)
Kicker: this is our withholding allowance - to be determined...
And, just for laughs, a subset of our bill of materials:
2 Poland Spring water bottles
Door latch
Two vertical blinds support rails (ripped out from a house being remodeled)
Tape measure
Questions/comments welcome.
