I'm hoping 1477 and 2415 also have some cool integrated components in the coming seasons.
For anyone who is feeling left out on the laser-cutty-goodness you can achieve a similar effect by taking a length of timing belt and wrapping your circular surface in it with the teeth facing out. It isn't as effective as having the teeth laser cut but for low torque applications it does work. 2337 use this approach somewhere on their 2009 robot (I'll snap a pic next time I am down there).
