I had a feeling this would show up here as your WAI at some point.
Just remember, it's not how high you can get, but how come down that matters...

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

He's not really jumping, he is just so light there was a small updraft and it took him away.. :) He might be close to upper orbit by now

W00T! Karthik hovering right by our robot! That is definitely my new desktop background for awhile...

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

Wow! He really got some air there didn't he??
The characters they pick for commentating are so energetic and fun. Gotta love 'em

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

He might be demonstrating how 1114's 'bot will hover autonomously in 2009, to score bonus points. If air time has sufficient scoring value, I've gotta believe the Simbots will find a way to make their robot do that. [edit: The Great Gazoo is known to hover frequently.]

More likely we will see Karthik doing this on a Championship field in Atlanta. Maybe not this year, but soon.

@Richard: Karthik has said he will be sitting in the stands in Atlanta this year. As for the future, I couldn't say.

@Karthik: I've seen you do those jumping introductions at Waterloo and GTR for a few years now... what perfect timing by the camera operator. Never mind that getting such a clear picture while you're moving so fast would be difficult to say the least.

Karthik, how'd you do that!!!

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

My guess is Flubber. :D

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

Oh wow, flubber... I remember that movie... */me feels old*

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

Actually, he hovered like that most of the weekend.

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

Actually...my sources tell me he was being hurdled by 1114's robot:rolleyes:

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

I couldn't quite tell what it was from up in the nosebleeds, but
I think the source of Karthik's hops might be explained partially if we can identify the strangely-coloured liquid concoction in the plastic bottle he visited frequently at the GTR scorer's table. :)

But... team Zero Gravity was in Philadelphia.

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

So you mean like this?

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

Epic Win......I'm speechless.....

Michelle, this is my new background. :cool: :p

EDIT: Kinda pixelated, if you have a larger version, could you send it to me?

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

i can see a new trend starting here. LolKarthiks.

Re: pic: Karthik WAI
 

I think this is just about how high Karthik jumped when that final score was revealed... :D ;)
