Actually, that was my mom. My family and I used to live in NH, and for the past two years I was on 2342. We are part of a secret CIA operation to bring FIRST to Australia, and our team is "not entirely" funded by the CIA. But don't tell anyone...

As Steve mentioned, the only reason we had an off-set 4WD system was we didn't have enough bearings. Getting the imperial parts for the AndyMark wheels is a LITTLE hard in a country using the metric system. Two of our students are currently on the public transport system (they have to take 2 trains and 4 buses) going the whole way across Sydney. They expect the trip to take 2-ish hours each way.
