We may bring 2 12 pounders, and if so, look for Josh to be driving Sting and possibly a 12 pound version of Sting'Em.....  I will be driving Son of Thump and The Spin stops here.....if it gets built!!! Welcome to the team Josh...

| I'd like to tell you that all you have to do is hit them hard enough ONE time and it'll be over, but you might have your hands full...it looks like a world class line up, with a lot of proven bots.... On the other hand...2 things 1) Your fights should not last all that long, win or lose 2) Driving the wedge bots will be a LONG uphill battle

| Just run them on low rates ...unless you need to push hard....and like you say, dial in the expo, etc. They are very fast. the speed might come in handly in such a big arena.... I plan on running the wedges wide open and hit anything as hard as I can....they might throw me out if all I hit is the walls and end up damaging them...  We'll see if those plastic and aluminum bots can take the hit

| hit ss with one huge hit from the begining, a problem he has is the top tube warping from his weapon power. With such a weapon almost on the ground it wouldnt take alot to tweak to where it doesnt work
Although he pretty much switches to a new frame after every fight i've heard |

His frame looks very simple, i wouldn't see why not.
I must beat SS, if rj gets the 12 pounders that is... |

If I had it out for undercutters, I would go with the wedge and fork attachment..If it works, it will be very embarrassing especially if the undercutter never gets to touch your bot with his blade..
Cody..do you have a link to a video where some bot with a long floppy fork totally neutralizes megabyte by hooking onto the pipe on top and taking it to the wall??
That would have been a good strategy for a Biohazard/Megabyte rematch....after bio got totally trashed.....

I saw it somewhere on youtube....It was pretty cool....we're going underground with the fork thing for a bit...could be a good surprise for the moto crowd....but some of it might be installed and tested on Son of Thump in January , if it has the weight to spare.....
