The Orange Tide Begins to take shape!

sanddragI like it a lot. I have a few questions:
1.) What are the four "trapezoidal prisms" coming up from the chassis?
2.) How did you cut the numbers in that plate?
3.) Why the different wheels?
4.) What are the shiny pieces on the sprockets in the right side of the picture?
EDIT:
5.) How are the wheels affixed to the axles/sprockets?

sanddragFor notching the smooth tires, I'm not sure if you know this already but the wheels (the black plastic part) are actually triangular shaped underneath just like the tire. So, if you take off rubber, you will hit plastic at some point.

Ok, thanks. We have notched tires before, and we also have tread material we can use.

Nice TIG welded chassis. Looking at the photo I can tell you're going with a "tank drive". What motors are you planning on using?

Yes, it is a tank drive. We are using the drill motor geared down 4.5 to 1.
