That's spiff.

Our robot is using one CIM per side, two-wheel drive, kit transmissions.

And now that I think of it...

Ockham's Raizor (2005) vs. Bob (2004)
Motors (drive): 2 CIMs vs. 2 window motors
Motors (other): Van door vs. Van door
What did the other motor do: Winch vs. Winch
The backside: Casters vs. Casters

So I guess Karthik's notion that the 2005 robots would just be an evolution of the 2004 robots is about right. This year, we just happened to perfect the three-motor-with-a-winch-and-casters concept.
