Yep. We installed around 16 cold cathode lamps underneath (red & yellow for that re-entry effect). The wings fold up and will eventually be controlled with pneumatics. We added engine nozzels this week just in time for the Championship. The cargo bay opens & closes when the robot holding rack is removed. It's was designed by students in the drafting class, built out of wood in the woodworking class, and finished (including a fiberglass wrap) in the collision repair class.

Future enhancements include:

1) More Lights! (strobes, markers, cold cathodes)
2) Flames from the nozzels (We need to look at H.O.T.'s fire pots)
3) Actuated wings
4) Drive by wire

We will definately have it in Atlanta. Come by pit 34 in Curie!
