I'm speculating, that you're being sarcastic -- and if that is the case, I think you're being REALLY harsh for no real reason.

The elegance from this design, doesn't come from the tough to build components, or from being some new innovative system; but from the integration of simple components into a highly functional system. This is something we can ALL learn from.

This looks like a wide-body design, using high traction wheels, and the KOP chassis/transmission. It will likely have decent pushing power, be able to climb the ramp, and turn very well; all while moving at a decent speed.

They have used COTS, and on-hand components to do this, and do it in a simple, robust, elegant little package.

Personally, I AM impressed with this, and I would hope that other teams will see the elegant, simplicity that can be used to achieve such functionality.

Kudos to 1660 for a great drivebase!
