I hope the rear wheels are omni wheels so you will be able to turn easily.
No, Stu... look closer. No AndyMark stuff here. This is all their own.

They are using the kit gearbox, going into their own custom gearbox with their own shifter. Those side plates to their gearbox are machined aluminum. With custom wheels and a custum dual-speed shifter on either side of their robot, these guys have an excellent setup. This is a design to look forward to at the Vegas Regional.
