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.

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.

Post by: Urjak on September 11, 2009, 09:11:03 AM: 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.

Post by: Clickbeetle on September 12, 2009, 12:15:00 AM: 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!

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.

Terminal Velocity is one of my favorite current MW's, just because there are so few big VS's left in the upper classes.

And K2 is the bot in the famous K2 vs. 2EZ hit.

Post by: runeslice1 on April 03, 2010, 10:31:43 PM: how much did you spend on ebay to get that monster (im assuming it was just the blade and frame because you said you put in the electronics)? im so jealous... also how would you go about getting something water jetted? do you need an intricate design plan with individual sides and whatnot or can you just have a general idea?

Post by: SKBT on April 04, 2010, 07:49:00 PM: I know his name is Sean McKeown. I know I lent a sharpie to him at motorama. Thats it. I don't have an E-mail for him though. I will dig for more info later.

Post by: SKBT on April 04, 2010, 08:41:59 PM: Right but it is probably a dummy e-mail made to register for the forum. it is gtm@revomedia.org so I think it seems logical to me.
