Re: star trek mechanums
I spotted them too (thanks to this thread), and nudged ChrisH, who pointed them out to KarenH, who was on the other side of him.

I can also confirm that it was an Airtrax lift; I was joking to ChrisH afterwards that I should see about buying stock in said company.

AirTrax stock is up 50% this week, but you can still get over 180 shares for a dollar.

Re: star trek mechanums
Noticed it and mentioned it to all of my college friends, who confirmed for me that I am still a complete nerd.

The other piece of technology that made me gitty was Kirk's motorcycle, which I noticed used hubless wheels. There have been a few prototype cycles like these in the past but none have taken off due to the design posing more difficulties than benefits; still quite a sight though.

Re: star trek mechanums
Slightly off-topic...

Did anyone else see the Red Matter and think "Overdrive trackball !!" ?

My kids and the wife all thought the same thing. Perhaps I should've posted this on the "overdosed on FIRST thread"...
