When I took a "close" look at 254's robot, I did not notice it at all. I would be willing to bet it was not intentional if it was anything more than an optical illusion...
254/60 care to enlighten us?

I can't speak for Kingman's bot, but on ours, the wheels don't normally toe out like that. Unless the chains are overtensioned - we noticed this on Saturday at SVR, and fixed it soon after.
