Picture of our chain tension cams. I'm told they look like ninja ghosts...



... kissing ninja ghosts.

A shot down the inside of a drive pod.



Mini-cim shoulder drive setup. We're gearing 108:1 with the versa planetary (if memory serves) with an additional 16:34 sprocket reduction. Should be able to flip Kovaka back on his wheels if things go sideways... err.. upside down.



Wiring is starting to get laid out. We invested heavily in electronics tools and components this year, and it's paying off. No way we could package 12x speed controllers into this belly pan so neatly if we were using old-school victors/talons/jags. Also, we love velcro.



Starting to populate the shooter with axles, belts, and pulleys.
