- 6WD powered by 4CIMs through AM Toughboxes
- 6" Plaction wheels with roughtop tread
- roughly 18:1 gear ratio from CIM to wheel
however, we have a plywood tray holding our pneumatics, roughly at the base of the toughboxes, and a plywood electronics board practically sitting on top of it. No way to avoid it, as we're a tunnel bot.
