Let's see, there is two CIM motors in the back, and a FP motor in the front. There is also a censored square in the middle in the picture. I'd guess that this is a new shifting, planetary gearbox/transmission, with some special feature - hence the blackened area. The yellow pieces may indicate that there is a belt in it, maybe to act as a clutch.

EDIT: The big circular piece may be a wheel, indicating that this is a transmission built into a wheel. This sounds familiar... Did Dave Lavery have anything to do with this?

Hmm. Freshman? Maybe sophomore?
