In the spirit of absurdly high gear reductions, maybe next year you should put something like this on your drivetrain as soon as it is constructed. Paired with a ratcheting rectifier, you can make yourself a pretty nifty odometer. I've always been curious to know precisely how many miles a 148 robot travels in the course of build, practice, and competition...
