I would love to see a up close and personal view of how your power transmission works.

Sprockets (or pulleys I should say, for this is timing belt) are not machined directly on. They are locktighted on the wheel and obtained from SDP-SI. Directly machining those pulleys would take too much out of our resources.

Their robot moves so fast that it changes colour due to the Dopler Effect. By rapidly alternating between driving away from the viewer (Redshift) and driving toward the viewer (Blueshift), they can make the viewer see it in their traditional purple colour. - philso [more]
