Amazing robot. I love the lights!
It is 8WD with the center two wheels lowered about 1/8". It's using 3" diameter Tetrix wheels everywhere and turns great.

It is 5052 aluminum that the kids spray painted. Nothing too fancy.

We've been using the Syzygy name for more than three years, but y'all are nearly a thousand miles away, so it isn't likely to make a difference to either of us.

I'm Jesse, and my wife is also Jessie. We don't find it awkward at all. Surprising, isn't it? Turns out that it's a cool way to be introduced. In the FTC context, should your 2 robots ever play together and come out to be far superior to the other alliance, it'd make a lasting impression in people's minds.
