I can't find any pictures taken by my team of the bot, but it was something. Their pit was one down from ours and had a elaborate tent setup with VERY technical posters and photos... the frame looked so complex (looked very similar to the inside of an airplane) that I heard some wondering about student involvement.
I heard that the treads were made by one of their sponsors, Foster Miller.
EDIT: After some more research into Foster Miller, I learned that they manufacture the
TALON Robots, which are in use by military personal.

Notice a similarity in the tread?
Although you will see lot's of people complain about parts (sometimes that includes me) all of us are held to the same constraints. That's what makes this so much fun. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
