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)  .

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!
