And... that looks like crab drive?
Tumbleweed is the 2008 World Champion. 3-wheel coaxial swerve drive, 9-sided robot, small enough to fit in some other robots' claws (all of which descriptors can be found either in the opening post or here). The pole in the center held the flag pole and a ball-knocker-offer. Tumbleweed is a lapbot, and as such is designed for speed and maneuverability to get through or around heavy traffic.


John, how many CIMs was that really? You're showing 6...
