I can't find any pictures taken by my team of the bot, but it was something. Their pit was one down from ours and had a elaborate tent setup with VERY technical posters and photos... the frame looked so complex (looked very similar to the inside of an airplane) that I heard some wondering about student involvement.
I heard that the treads were made by one of their sponsors, Foster Miller.
EDIT: After some more research into Foster Miller, I learned that they manufacture the
TALON Robots, which are in use by military personal.

Notice a similarity in the tread?
