Woo, boy...where to start counting the things that are against the 2007 rules.
Main power source not 12V battery, several illegal part assemblies (obviously purchased before kickoff), the list goes on.

Actually, I looked at the close up of the picture and couldn't help noticing the excellent welding. I've done a bit of welding and can see that whoever did your frame was very skilled.

One of the most elegant frames I have seen! :)

My question is this: would you call this a teaser? ;)

I don't think it's meant to be a teaser, but more of a progress update. It's an excellent frame, and I hope we'll get to see it in Atlanta this year

i have a major psychotic hatred for bury obscure pointless pictures of random things with the word teaser attached flooding chief Delphi.

its more of something meant to get the reaction.. "WHA? they're done?... oh! Har Har Har that Tytus is a silly fella."

like this...

Nice frame. I think we may have to look out for the dual light sabers this year.

It appears to be, a very rusty one too. Which brings rise to the question, why does Tytus have a rusty rotor?

Can you imagine the announcer?

"Oh, and here comes 1889 with their lightsabers! Ouch, thats gotta hurt! There may be a yellow card assigned this match!"

looks to me that its powered by the infinate improbability drive... so if it has a slim chance of winning it will:yikes:

ha ha ha ha........, yeah ....... i get the joke and its sorta funny to but common on now, random crap like this associated w/ "teaser" or whatnot at a time like this is NOT very cool BUT i must i agree w/ the fellow a few responces above that the "chassis" (i think) has some superb welding but eitheyrway common now......

its the rotary auxilary power unit

it look as if it's out of a mazda, based on the seal and size of the tribate

but it could be from a snowmobile i have one with rotary engine
