Entering a competition with it next month. Hopefully it'll do well. Was just testing it, blew out one of the drive motors. Better stock up on them.

Disaster Area. Why?

Just wondering.... did you purchase that bot, or buld it from scratch.

Bought the chassis on eBay from Kevin Barker, Team Velocity (Amazing engineer, this thing is extremely well built), added the electronics and made some slight improvements. This will be my first competition with it.

Ah. I was just wondering because I had seen that almost exact bot fight in Seattle many times under a different team, only when I saw it now I realized it must have switched teams.

Well... cool. Good luck!

Hah, I wouldn't dare spin it up in the house, let alone in the kitchen!

Which bots are yours? Leprechaun won't be there. TR4 is not combat ready, but there was no damage from last competition, so it should be competing.

You should get some better pics, that one is a bit blurry...

For a moment there I thought Kevin Barker actually joined GTM. I have seen his bots and they are very impressive.

Well, good luck with Fiasco!

Same with me!

I'm sure I'm not the only builder who realizes the importance of these forums. Robot combat is not what it used to be, but these forums and forums like these help to keep it alive.

I see you're going to Franklin Institute as well. Best of luck.

"You should get some better pics, that one is a bit blurry..."

Yeah, I plan to take a better pic soon.
