Can you give some details on the drivetrain? I can't tell exactly what's going on there by the pictures or video.

We are using belts as well, as they are lighter, easier to replace, and can tolerate shock much better than #25 chain (we've broken two belts, mainly from stretching because of carpet getting stuck in the pulleys)
The geometry of the base makes it so that it can get over every terrain based defenses without tortugaing. The wedges also eliminate any type of landing gear, as well as the ability to go forward and backwards over the defenses.
