I was wondering that too, until I saw the box of parts that made its way down to California. All teams have been well taken care of, and then some.
Say, wasn't I supposed to send a part file to someone on your team? I recall something about that, but I'm really not sure... Toughbox adapter plate or something?

This is somewhat close to the correct answer for this. For those concerned about pricing: Don't worry about it. It's on a team by team basis, and each team can probably work something out with Outback. If you're really interested, I'd suggest getting in touch with Outback to find out how it would work for your team. If you need help doing so, email or PM me and I'll be glad to help.
Do people really think we'd invest this much time and effort for something even close to not legal? It's not worth showing up to the competition and being even slightly into the gray area.
Anyway, I forgot to put spec's for our drive system:
-Final drive speed is slightly below 9fps under load
-Chassis weight as shown is 12.4 lbs. Expected to be sub 30 with motors and gearboxes
-Each unit is module, and can be dropped out of the robot should repairs be necessary
-Each track unit is incredibly rigid when bolted together, and each module is reversible to allow use on both sides of the tracks
-Gearboxes will be hobbed out of single block of aluminum with a mating plate to allow quick changes of components
Any technical questions I can answer about these?
