Had I only seen say a roller (as the "teaser") in this thread, I probably wouldn't even had remember when it comes time to regionals.
That aside, sweet wheels. I like the colors alot too.

Teasers, in general, are pretty boring. They may provide some interest but they rarely inspire or intrigue. The photos in this thread provide an opportunity for discussion and curiosity to grow. If I were going to be at a competition where 2865 was competing - I would take the time to visit their pit and check out their wheels. Maybe ask some questions about the oven/baking process. If one is going to make any assumption when posting a teaser, it would be a good idea to assume that the viewer/audience/general public doesn't know as much as you may think they do and that you are the bridge to understanding or creating enough interest to become that bridge. 2865 has done that.
