They are "Human Dream and Inspiration Enablement Devices" but since that takes too long to say and explain I use the word "robot". - Foster [more]

Yeah, I noticed that... Not something that should be on the final module for sure, probably just there for photo purposes I think.

Just a thought, maybe the bottom circle would be best made from Acetal? Just to reduce the friction and other drive forces... You might want to run that by AJ, Mr. Laabs, and/or Dad first though.

I know a lot of teams use acetal right now to support their modules (like here). I'd recommend it solely based on what I've heard from other people.
