This MOC started out as a self propelled Znap wheel about two years ago. You
can see a movie of the original
here. About a month
ago, I decided to see if I could build a similar wheel, but make it
steerable.

Without any further ado,
Please LMKWYT! Let me know if you want to see more pics. If people want, I
can try to get some video too. --Bram

You know Bram, what I like best about your trademark stuff (which this is) is
that it exists in that grey area between technic and system compatible design.
Its almost like neo-Bauhaus stuff...the support structure visible, but worked
into the shape of the design to add to its appeal rather than detract from it.
Specifically, the wheels are this are of course the main accomplishment, but I
quite enjoy the texturing of the central hub. Using layered and angled plates
to greeble rather than the traditional detail tiles and elements again give a
system effect using technic technique.
I got the popcorn....bring on the movie, man.
Excellent work.
Cheers,
