We were still running the original plastic drive pulleys (am-2234, in the Rhino kit) for that scrimmage. Impacts on the wooden defenses, esp. Rough Terrain, cause them to shatter.
Since then we have made aluminum driven pulleys to match our aluminum track pulleys; hence the photo title. We will running these against steel defenses for the first time tomorrow at Kettering.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
