Thanks! Inside the beast are two AndyMark single-speed trannies, each with dual small CIM motors. The electrical system is more or less FRC-legal; we use a slightly different, but
much lighter 40amp Maxi-block in addition to dual 12v Exide batteries in parallel to increase our running time. We use a several Spikes to control the other functions on the robot, such as the sound system and cold cathodes.

They are snowmobile treads, and have an unbelievable amount of friction on almost every imaginable surface known to mankind, especially high-traffic carpet.
