My next door neighbor used to build robots for "Robot Wars." Now he just builds them for local competitions. The first time I went over to his house for a party Orbitron came out and attacked me... luckily he'd removed the kill saws from it.

Anyway, speaking of legos, my friends brother built a working harpsicord out of legos. Even the tuning of the strings was done with legos.

No, I'm not.  I know they are still going.  But they aren't the pop culture fad any more.
That's like saying the mullet was a fad yet I still see people with mullets.

Hence why i said manual override.  Would nee a way to override form the remote control to disable individual weapons/sensors.   The bot I was planning was going to get it's weapon power form air bottles, don't want to waste the air....

Valid point.  Personally, i consider the mullet scarier, tho.

Amazing how threads wander.  Like a psychotic free-associating. :)
