unixronin: Closed double loop of rotating gears (Gearhead)

It's called the Hyanide, because it allegedly looks like a crouching hyena¹.  Designed for the Michelin Challenge, its German designers say it can negotiate any terrain, no matter how rough or boggy.  Interesting concept, and a bold claim, but I'm not sure about the idea of using both hands and both feet to steer it ....

[1]  Personally I don't see the resemblance, at least from this photo, but, uh ... sure.  Whatever you say.  Maybe it's a German thing.
