From my memory, you added it at NEDCMP. Dana Henry, the LRI, did not notice them. I mentioned the wheels in passing to him at Blitz and he made it fairly clear that he would NOT have passed them. Nor would I were I to inspect that robot. (In fact, I recall questioning it at NEU when you guys mentioned you were planning it)
