			Hey, Travis!  The tractor was even more impressive first-hand at Indy.  Appreicate your time discussing the second-generation driveline with the gearmotors.  Really looks great.  Have you resolved possible track slippage on the drive wheels?  You were considering tape or something to improve friction.

			Travis, I remembered you said something about black rubber bands for traction...what about o-rings or spraying the wheels with bed-liner or similar product?
