Actually--there are no pix--we are still building them! The robots will be 2-wheel drive with a caster-skid. Rough wheel track is 7 in, overall length is about 10 in. All four robots will be identical except for a colored inflated balloon (that will identify the teams and be a key part in the final objective!). If you look carefully at the field diagram on the site you can see the ramps vary in width. The lower ramps are straight-sided and 9 inches wide, the upper ones are tapered and are wide enough on their lower edges for 2 robots to start up together...but there will not be enough room for 2 robots to make it to the top together. Should be interesting...
