Two Hotbotz? Sounds like fun!

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

Twice the Spice, Carl!

It remains to be seen if the B team can pull it off. This group will be brand new members, plus some veterans that have not had much build experience. They are designing and building a brand new robot for the event - and they have not really started on it yet. There will be at least two "sibling rivalries" and possibly a third between "A" and "B".

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

The TerrorBytes will be there! Just have to sign up now and can't wait to compete with you all one last time.

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

Still have to work out the scheduling (there's a USC home football game that day, which has tied us up the past few years), but THOR is definitely on my We're-Getting-Up-There-Someday List™. Fingers crossed!

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

THOR was a blast last year to train some new drivers. Hopefully this year we can have more attendance from YETI. We will have to see if the event falls on SAT testing weekend again this year.

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

So glad you brought this up. This year's date, October 10 (with hopefully some exciting additional activities on the evening of Friday the 9th) was carefully selected to avoid the SAT (which is Oct. 3), to avoid back-to-back weeks with nearby events like SCRIW, IROC, and Rumble in the Roads, and to avoid conflicting with the Martinsville Speedway Race weekend (which fills all the area hotels).

And we're waiting for Yeti to join us again for this year...it won't be the same without you!

(Seventeen Registered Teams Now....room for 15 more!)

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

Good luck to all of the teams competing at THOR tomorrow from everyone on 900!

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

Why no 900 this time guys? We're looking for that crane action!

Re: THOR III - October 10, 2015
 

We didn't sign up in time and I had Matt and Nate from Rumble in the Roads threaten to unfriend me on Facebook if we didn't go back so that was the priority. Y'all are going to have a blast without us though. THOR is a great event.

Trophies ready to be claimed by tomorrow's action.
