• 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.
