I guess it all depends on the game this year, but either way you guys had an awesome design to go with them.

I feel like we've seen all there is to see with respect to shifting speeds for the most part. That's not to say that we're not going to try for something new, but that the mecanum drive arrangement seemed more interesting to us. It's all we've been talking about, but it's certainly not all we've been thinking about.

I got to see the latest in AM wares at TFFI and these babys and the aluminum Omni wheels really stole the show.

Shhh... Jack... no one knows about the new aluminum omni wheels or the "Coolie Dualie Wheels". Well, no one except the people at the Team Ford FIRST Invitational. heh.

Madison,

We're all looking forward to XBot's implementation of these wheels. Thanks for the updates.

Boy, "Coolie Dualies" is starting to sound pretty official. Any speculation as to when they might be available for sale? Pricing??
