- Brecoflex treads, 2 CIMs per side, approx. 24:1 reduction from motors using ToughBoxes and sprockets
- Fits under tunnel
- Climbs bump easily (but crashes down hard!)
- Center of gravity about 8" above the ground - basically untippable
- Lifts itself at end of game, with bar for alliance partner to hang from (bar not shown in pictures)

- Door latch
- Two vertical blinds support rails (ripped out from a house being remodeled)
- Tape measure
Questions/comments welcome.
