I LOVE the tank treads.

MANY of my unsuccessful robots use them for the Rx games.


If I recall, the bot that was more or less KING of the Hill had 3 PAIRS
of tank treads.

I mean, look at this GREAT pic of me, holding my WINNING robot entry.
that pic was taken, the day I forgot to get a hair cut, I just took a
HUGE hit of LSD, a small child just kicked me, I had TOO MUCH beer the
night before, my jeans were shrunk by knomes, I fell asleep in the sun,
AND that was the game where all 18 of Steve's robots came dead last.
