Well, if building a BattleBot counts as R/C stuff, then I amJust wondering who if anyone's into R/C stuff..
Have been working on this &)($!&()^ thing for like a year so far, and no end in sight. Ah well... It's been a serious learning experience.
...reminds me of the scene in Back To The Future with the remote controlled time machine DeLorean...

Junkyard wars is really cool, but they messed it up in the new season. It was so much better with the british guy and chick (like in the first and seconds season)
Oh, I freely admit that JYW rocks the houseBut BBots (and various other comps) are within the realm of possibility for me
I just hope Ahmet Zappa doesn't come back for Robotica season 2....*cringe*
