Favorite
Robot:
R2-D2 - is there any other?
Favorite
Tool:
Cordless Dremel of course, it gets the job done and it can fit in
your pocket!
Reason for
building a bot:
The first time I saw Battlebots I knew I had to build one. Then
the first time I saw New Cruelty almost run Dick over, I was hooked!
Favorite
Bot Website:
www.robotcombat.com - Jim
Smentowski's website. Lots of great information, and Jim is a number
one guy. When we first started building, he was one of the few "Battlebot
Celebrities" that would answer our emails! Plus Backlash and
Nightmare are some kick ass bots!
Why building
'bots is fun:
I didn't grow up in a machine shop, I am a techie geek! But anyone
can build a bot, just do some research on the web, there are lots
of good sites with information. Just check out our links
page!
