The four motors you see on top of the board are the original demonstration motors, which are only along for the ride.

That makes a lot more sense now... :-p

I was looking at the robot, I couldn't figure out what was going on, I thought maybe you guys were trying to make a hovercraft or something.

In any case, I think I have to say the sunglasses make that robot cooler than any other robot I've seen. I mean, seriously, who has ever seen a robot with aviators?
