It's the kitbot chassis, running 4xCIM to 6" AM wheels. Traction in the middle, omnis on the corners. The jump from 4" to 6" wheels gives them an edge in speed over the standard kitbot, and allows them to climb over the various platforms on the field.

In keeping with the theme of the game (and a rookie team's budget!) there is a lot of recycled COTs stuff and raw materials from the team 1346 inventory on this machine. I think the van door motor on the lift dates back to '07 and the omnis are '06 and '08 vintage. It is definitely the least expensive machine I've ever been involved in building!

Unfortunately I won't be joining them in Calgary this year, but I know they'll be in good hands with some experienced teams to help them out if anything massive goes wrong.
