Anyway i've been around close to day one and seen quite afew funny things in my time.

Did u guys know ben made a robot for doing his own Robot wars :P

Or how about on the old classic gaming forums some kid tried to say he built a PS2 portable and he made it smaller by "Cutting out the PS1 hardware" it was very funny and caused a huge flame way.
Yeah, it says in the book description that he makes cheap fighting robots
out of remote control cars I think

I just checked and the thread's still there, incredibly enough. Filled to the brim with Ben's trash-talking and spongey's ceaseless thread flooding :P I should hope he wasn't a mod back then... :wink:

It was basically a cheap Radioshack car with a a colander upturned on top of it. I think it had some sort of power drill on the top, it's been a while.

Cheap robot wars was fun, I kind of miss it.

Too bad we're so spread out, this would be fun to do against other forum members. Maybe I could convince my friends into spending a few bucks for RC cars we can trash.
