RE: Drive

We are using AndyMark Nanotubes with custom ratios and #25 chain between all three wheels on a side. There are 2 CIMs and 1 RS-775 with a CIM-U-LATOR on each side. The drive is incredibly redundant - each motor is direct driving one IFI wheel via its own gearset, and is chained to the other two (the Nanotube has all of the necessary holes for mounting a third Toughbox Nano gearset in the middle). We could conceivably lose both lengths of chain and two drive motors on a side, and still be able to move.

RE: Gripper

Yep, those are BaneBots wheels. What they grab shall not be dropped!
