We also bought eight, but we use six for drive and have two backups. Might be that, or they have some crazy eight-wheel drive, or they use the extra wheels to manipulate tubes / raise bots :P

I imagine this is just a continuation of their 8WD last year using the newer IFI wheel design. Should be nice and maneuverable, as well as high traction.

I missed those, I must not have been looking hard enough.

Are you guys trying some crazy eight wheel stuff? I'll have to peek in next time I'm in the highbay...

You wouldnt be spying on us in highbay would you? Maybe what you see is just a decoy robot built to fool you all. LOL

Spying? Not at all, we're in there building a baja car....with the new..digital camera welding equipment...*shifty eyes*

Seriously though, I didn't quite catch those wheels being used, any chance of us finding out what they're for?
