Attackbot Geekery

Front page of boston.com as I just pulled it up… a picture of a familiar looking ramp and an article about robots.

Mine had a mercury switch to cut the power when it got to the top of the ramp and a fat rat trap on the front to smash the other vehicle if it made it to the top, but I don’t think mine made it to the top when the time came. My friend made his look like the car at the end of Animal House. We didn’t look as geeky as those two kids in the picture. Well… I didn’t. Good Times.
