The robot on the right (I'm assuming is the 07 one. 05 on left?) has a black FP gearbox. Weren't the ones in the kit this year white? Is that legal?

EDIT: Sounds good to me.

I like the conveyor design, how heavy is the end of the arm though?

Nope...ours are black. Look at the KOP checklist...the picture has a white gearbox, but the description says it can be white OR black.

Any chance at a better view of the grabber? It looks a little different from the one i saw on American robot ( i think that was in episode 2...)
Looks snazzy, and its that far, which is big progress.

You guys have any issues with belts popping off?

We found that the side-loads on the belts caused series problems when we tried to twist the tubes.

We fixed the problem, but was it an issue for you?
