Bryce would totally win that challenge. All of his mecha are built out of
reject parts. I mean, really - ninja wings?!?
Cool idea, though, I agree...

Yeah, that is typical in Iron Chef.
For this pilot contest, if you will, we are using a graphic to take the place as
the ingredient. Depending on how this contest goes, and if the interest remains
I was thinking of setting up an elimination schedule and using seed parts as the
ingredient. So if this continues, we'd get a roster of participants, they'd be
paired up, each pair would get a part and a month. Then next month, new pairs
and a new part. So on and so forth down to a grand champion. But I thought
that'd be a bit much to start with so I decided to go with this. But gauging on
the popularity of this, I better start hunting for a black suit and a silver
platter.
