[quote=squirrel;902171]Look close, you can see sprockets on the outside of the end wheels, which will likely be used to connect them together with a long chain.

all six wheels will be powered, we just did not have the sprockets in stock at the time lol

you are correct sir.

we just bolted a 1/8th alluminum plate to the bottom, we also will have a super-structure to tie everything together, and it will also be completely welded*

not only will it go under the tunnel, but it Will climb the bump
