Also, how did you get the magnet to work with the varying height of the chassis (when switching from agile to tractiony drive)? Seems like it would be a pesky problem to work around.
As with 148's bot, I really wish I could see this thing in person!
Heh, I was going to mention the same thing.

I'm guessing rs555 for the ball rollers.
