Hmmmm......

Kitty Of Parts.

Is that legal? ... By US law that would be animal cruelty wouldn't it? ... I don't think Dean, Dave, or Woodie would do something like that.... On top of that we'd have PETA on our backs at every competition and possibly even the FBI/Local Police raid some of our "shops".... On top of that, I doubt a cat or "kitty" contains many good "parts" to build a bot out of....

BUT .. I know you didn't mean it like that Mr. Wong. ;)

A potential power source, if you can solve the age-old problem of controlling cats. That one is beyond my engineering ability.

Gerbils have long been featured as illegal energy sources in the parts use flowchart--apparently, the specificity was intentional.

PETA? People Eating Tasty Animals? ;)

OMG! We're all getting a Technokitten in our kits! Awesome, my team could do with a more ballsy drive system.

I've seen this delivish kitten in person and I must say that most people may not want to find one in their KOP come January!! :p

What about mice?
Anyone recall this from Team 114 Eagle Strike's 2006 AVA Entry?

Sure it was just an, "idea," but that shows people were thinking about it...
It is only a matter of time.

The purrfect response = eek! (I know, I know - cheesy)

Re: pic: Newest addition to the 2008 KOP
 

I like this concept, but you should lose the cheese, put the mouse where the cheese used to be, put the cat where the mouse used to be, and enlarge the cage-wheel. Cat-power beats mouse-power.
