Our gracious host for the week, Danny Haeg, shows off his machine, Tower of Power. |
|
Gorgeous machine work on the front end of the Judge. Check out the molded rubber servo savers that link the steering. |
|
|
Eric Reikes' Necronomibot. Cool spinning drum powered hammer. |
|
Jaws of Death, as done by Curt and Amy of Kill-O-Amp fame. |
|
|
Don't remember the name, but an extra large lightweight that used a lot of found objects to look serious. |
|
Neat new walking robot, Centipede. |
|
|
Hey, that robot looks familiar! Complete Control becomes set decorations. |
|
Massive SHW, the Brainsters of Triskillian (sp?). Robots came in ALL shapes and sizes this time. |
|
|
Andy Miller and Sunshine Lollibot stylin' in the SF sun. |
|
Melty Brain II inside. Blade Runner's guts. |
|
|
Melty Brain coding center in the pits. |
|
Complete Control's pits with ultra-pro t-shirts for sale sign (sorry, none left -- thanks to all who bought them!) |
|
|
Turbo post Double Agent/killsaw/shell stripping/pulverizing.. ouch. That white stuff is SLA guts sprayed across the insides of Eddy's robot. |
|
That's not an approved safety cover!?!?! Oops, I forgot, this was TI1, not TI2 -- back when Lobster heads were AOK. |
|
|
Foos-madness at Mike and Ben's place in SJ. |
|
Nothing like drinking and then breaking out the guns. |
|
|
The interior of my victorious opponent, F5. A lot of CNC work in this robot, and it even has suspension! |
|
Complete Control and myself posing in the ultra-crowded pits. |
|
|
Me, Amy Sun, Danny Haeg and Gillian. |
|
Nightmare + Son of Whyachi = Broken Nightmare. |
|
|
Half-Gassed showing its plum sprockets. |
|
Vlad the Impaler + Mechavore = Many bad can opener jokes. |
|
|
The sercret internals of a Raptor robot. Very low component count means reliability. |
|
Another (now) illegal safety cover. Doo-all appears to be feeding. |
|
|
Cheerleaders for some team or something. |
|
Jon Autry and Village Idiot. Jon had one of the best new robots at the show. Here we are lined up for the rumble. |
|
|
Andy Miller. His mom is decorating the gayest robot in the land with a lovely pink boa. |
|
Grant and Ioanna of Deadblow in line. |
|
|
Ilya doing final preparations on BR. |
|
Ilya, Gilya & Derek. |
|
|
Ouch! Bio bends and breaks in the HW final. |
|
Even Jeremey's HUGE Complete Control banner couldn't win the rumble for me. Thanks for the support though! |
|
|
$15 for a Nachbarkanalleistungmesser? Deal! Thank you Halted! |
|
When in Rome... |
|
|
Gill wastes some punk. |
|
Last stop on the way home: the mall. Oregon has 0% sales tax -- hooray! |
