I've got my KSC pictures now, I thought these Bomb Squad photos might be valuable to those who haven't seen them. They weren't the champs in FL, but they are very impressive. Check em out for yourself.
The picture below is a close up of their back drive system (opposite end from the big wheels). That white wheel in the back is one of a pair, they elevate the chassis and retract at the end. I'm not sure if the tank treads are used in open-field manuevering or just puck climbing. :-Dan
This picture shows there pole arm, it works very well.
