Pre permanent numbers, pre IFI, pre main battery, pre backup battery, pre alliance, pre large playing field and used a surrogate robot in the form of a vacuum cleaner when there weren't three robots on the field. Used drills for drive motors, had significant human player interaction and scoring and this particular one could elevate over fifteen feet. The top (holding four tubes) is able to tilt from front to back. And I think the first Wildstang robot to die when a drill was passed through a cross member containing wiring.
