343 was great. I don't have any photos yet, but expect some tomorrow when I bring my camera.

I think the annoucer is in love with Sparky.

Yeah, I didn't like him. I WANT JEFF! Anyway, I did think it was funny since he kept mentioning Sparky.

4th yes he did. I was in his way while he was riding it so I had to move out of the way.

I think he's talking about the teams that have made a little 4 wheeled thing that looks like a segway (but isn't b/c of 4 wheels ).;)

UMMMMMMM Sanddrag..... Its "IT" a "SCOOTER" and in most Cities it dont transport no Humans, they have and will be banned by narrow minded nenderthals who have no vision. A duck is a duck no matter what you wish to call it so lets call "IT" a scooter. Thats my .02c

We are very proud of our little segway..offically known as the "Knight Krawler" =) It is two wheeled and was a pet project becuz of our extreme love of Dean's Segway...who btw rode it on Thursday. =)

After our last match i rode ontop of my teams robot (IVOR) all the way around the seigel center on the sidewalk. Even in the grass. It was sweet.

Poor Jeff couldn't MC, he was very sick. :( But he's all better now and is MC'ing at Philly.

Who had wannabe Segways with four wheels? It wasn't us...Ours has two wheels, see? (There's already a couple threads about it, try searching) oops, I have no pics of it at this computer, sorry!
