Over looking the pits from the contestant grandstand. People/robots visible: Dan Danknick, Jerome and Knome, Jeff (I think) the crazy guy with the sketch book, Lisa Winter and the rest of the Robot Action League crew (yellow shirts). You can see the paper that Jerome painted his robot on too! |
|
Another pit shot, visible here are Grant I's GIANT halogen lights, that were a good idea (the lighting was shat). Our pit was in the third row way over by the stairs |
|
|
A shot of the pits/Steve's drink from Carls Jr. You can see Ian from England (Razer) checking out Kill-o-Amp with Curt. |
|
Ramiro with his robot Punjar. Pujar had the widest tires there! A very clean wedge robot. |
|
|
Peter Abrahamson's super cool tank robot Ronin. A very nice piece of work. Check out Team Sinister's Webpage. |
|
BOB's robot WLOW. If you look closely, you can make out the gouges that Tentomushi left in it's armour. |
|
|
Ed waiting in the robot queue for the match to begin. |
|
Steve waiting. We used the drill to attach the nylok nuts that held the top on the robot right before the match. |
|
|
Me waiting... trying not to let the tension get to me. You can see Dennis with Gator on the left, and Ankle Biter on his trolly on the right. |
|
Inspecting the robot for damage afterwards. Ankle biter managed to chew up the UHMW under-belly in a couple of spots. You can see one here at the end of the winch motor. |
|
|
The rear panel of SOS was impaled on the arena spikes by Ankle Biter (check out the hole). They had pushing power, whereas I did not. |
|
The Sony Aibos were cool. I wonder how many times the people demo'ing them had to hear the joke: "I wonder how they'd do in the ring? hahaha".... |
|
|
The guys with Hammerhead had a pit near us. They had a huge vat of liquid Nitrogen that this guy was drinking or somthing. Made a good photo. |
