Practice driving is very useful. Often things break under the simple stress of gentle movement. I tell the kids that is a good thing....so much better to find out now when you have an opportunity to make revisions and repairs.

Practice driving. The eight forks are pretty much ornamental. One of those wheels look a little crooked? It was falling off as I took this shot. As I said, better now than in competition....
Every batch of robots has a few "apex predators", machines that are just plain ferocious. This is the frame of a machine that has a lexan bar spinning off the hub of a reworked Barbie Jeep gearbox. Very nasty. Too bad he will have nary an ounce left for protective armor....
