about 5,000 RPM. His tale:
“The fight was at Motorama 2010 vs. Surgical
Strike. Pete (Smith) actually reversed the weapon
thinking Sonic spun the other way, hoping we would
glance off each other instead of what actually
happened. Surgical Strike came out of the arena hurting
(at least). Our mild steel tooth is fractured about 5/8”
back, and the welds on both teeth are tearing off the
surrounding material. Everything still worked after
though!”

Before and after photos, brief description of
the fight, and builder’s name can be submitted
to me at LegendaryRobotics@gmail.com. Or, if
you have an action shot that clearly shows
what’s going on, those are welcome too! These
don’t have to be current, anything you can
(legally) submit — clear back to the Good Old
Days of wooden bots and iron builders — is fair
game.
