As always a great looking robot, AIR Strike!
121 (the team from which 78 branched off of after the 2009 season) used a similar looking material on their kop wheels to acquire the trackballs in 2008 (

It looks like your entire upper assembly (loader and shooter) is on a turret... do you mind if I ask what the reasoning behind that decision was? Lower the weight of the turreting assembly? Improve consistency of feeding balls into your shooter?
Perhaps I should just wait to check out your robot at GSR... I'm quite curious about your shooter and drive motors, your drive wheels, how you handle the wiring for the upper assembly, and your seemingly sheet metal outer frame (new for you guys, if I recall correctly).
