Go to Post FIRST is kind of like charity work... you are, even if only in some small way, helping our future just a little bit, and you get a great feeling from it. Even if you are just ringing a bell (or clapping MOE sticks together), you're helping. - Amanda Morrison [more]

I may be wrong, but i'm betting it's crab/swerve. It's clear that all 4 wheels are steerable (look at the wires sticking up).

After zooming in on the pic, you can see the chains linking the two front and two back wheels. I'm betting it's front and back linked crab. (And, is that an MA3 encoder? It looks like one =D)

I see 4 large pneumatics, 2 smaller things (pneumatics or gas shocks) and a small motor powering the lottery roller. I can't figure out all the linkages from the picture, though - how does this arm move?

Re: pic: Wildstang 2008

I'm beginning to think the full photo of the robot is a worse tease than the teasers.

My head hurts. It's those little lottery balls, I want to watch them go.
