Talking Re: pic: Ferrari Race Car

Take one look at your robot and say, WTF? Thats noty a robot.
I thout it was a jokethe first time i saw it, but now ithink its a great idea.
I like the idea of the underglow "neons" (LEDS) andthe Ferari body. Personally, i would have gone with a Mustang, but thats me.
Did youbuild your chasis, ordid you buy a hobby kit? and what about the body(exteriorshell) kindalooks like cardboard...
Last, how much dose it weigh, how big is it(overall dimensions), and can it push a trackball?
Looks like it can. Dont belive me. OK
See that car next to my user name?That is a 18th scale hobby car. It almost fits from your tip fingers to the botom of your palm. With absolutly no assistance,it was esially able to push the ball(even with a slight leverage disadvantage.)The motor wasbuilt for speed, so thewheels were spiining, butthe ballwas moving.
I like the idea. Mabye if they do another season like this in the future.....
