: Why would they have those beauties if it was only acting as a fancy caster wheel?

We used them as fancy casters last year for packaging purposes. They weren't nearly as elaborate as these though. We tried driving them but it was too much for the Drill motors to take at our low gear ratio. We ended up keeping the speed and loosing the driven casters.

: I will tell you, it was a tough choice trying to decide to give up the Swerve (which we have grown to love) or the Limbo.

Will the Chief be limboing????? Has the CD6 design influenced Dr. Joe's standing on his bet with Erin? I thought we were supposed to be seeing pictures or at least renderings by now? How much longer do we have to wait to see this 6 wheel drive limbo machine? :-)
