No problem! I try to reply any time I'm tagged. I was going to try to make it to the October event but it's my 10 year anniversary on October 1st and we'll be on vacation!

And I love big wheel bots. Getting my butt kicked by Max and Actual Size was a blast.

Thank you so much! And I agree! That was my favorite part of the new bot events every year, that's when all the new weird stuff showed up. I'm really hoping to bring something interesting to NHRL next year, I've got a couple of things in the works.

After the first couple of times you start to enjoy it :-) I often try to get my opponents 'hit it again' to put on a good show.

All those shows are amazing. I build and compete with robots now because of Robot Wars.

Maybe we can get a single green white checker like NASCAR? One shot though and they waive the ending fuel requirements.

What a bullshit ending to the F1 race

Galumph is nearly ready! He galumphs, he spins, and his eyes googly.

Can confirm the pride f1 stickers are amazing! It was the first one that I put on my laptop.

I've always wanted to build a ridiculous glass cannon.

@superberry4u.bsky.social It's hard to read, but it was a vanity plate that said 'GAM3RGRL' and for some reason it reminded me of you.

I've got Paws up and moving again! It felt weird working on it again but I'm bringing it to Indy PopCon and hopefully I'll be able to let people drive it (without a weapon of course)

Penny Pick-Up is nearly ready for Indy PopCon and the Circle City Clash.

Working on Penny for PopCon, with an elastic back support brace and a tens unit, because I won't let back spasms stop progress.

I don't think she's a fan, but she looks adorable.

Looks good!

I say jif, but I also call .bmp files 'bumps'

Penny Pick-Up is getting a fresh new look and some needed upgrades!

May 9th I'm going to be at Indy PopCon for the Circle City Clash. I'm not sure if I'll be competing with Frank or Penny Pick-Up, but probably the latter. (minus the mecanum wheels)

Only one?

Big Frank's bottom plate.

If I have the weight and the time I want to build a tiny one named Beans.

Big Frank is big.

Sorry to anyone who was excited to see me Paws at Sword today. My mom passed away the other day and I've been dealing with all of that. I'm still planning on attending the June NHRL event.

Paws is ready for SWORD competition on April 19th! Going to kick ass and destroy top plates.

For as much money as F1 makes you would think they could figure it out on screen graphics.

As an AF vet myself, I have to agree. The army one is a close second.

You're a spineless coward.

They just rolled over, what a bunch of cowards.

So, who's going to primary @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social because they don't represent NY values. They deserve to lose.

There are no nice things to say about this. I'm full of rage and don't know how to express it without ending up on a watch list.

Our puppy is getting very close to that age, and I'm so nervous.

I feel so disassociated with politics, any Democrat that could do anything is out in the primaries because they want someone more in the middle. It's not working. Bernie would have gotten shit done, Pete would have gotten shit done, Warren would have gotten shit done, but no we got Biden...
