Too bad you guys haven't seen their old robot, or you would've know what these are for.
Back at 98 or 99, I am not sure which one (probably 99), they had a tread system, and they lower two wheels from the back to the ground so the treads only touch the ground in the front, and turn the system into a 4 wheel drive like system.
Which would make sense for this tread system, because with the high side friction, it make it easier to turn when they lower these omni wheels on the back.

In any case, a drawing is important. You should never machine anything without having a drawing of some type to work from. - Big Ideas [more]
