Thanks Kevin! I'll pass that along to the team sponsor... Were're in the Valley, by the way.

I held one of the flight wheels, and let me tell you that they are really beautiful. Beautiful not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from an engineering point of view. They are, in fact, so neat, that Dave took a flight-like wheel back to NASA headquarters to show it off. Maybe Dave could put it within view of the Amazing DaveCam (hint, hint) :D.

Actually, it is visible in the current Amazing DaveCam! view - you can see it end-on sitting on the windowsill, next to the plant, behind the flamingo. But the other image I posted, which appears above in this thread, is a better image. And, yes, the motors are located inside the wheel hubs. I have a picture around here somewhere that I will post when I find it.

But in the mean time, anyone have any good ideas for rover names yet? Send 'em in!
