That is hilarious.

I hope that it triggers the tower. I have one thing you may be concerned about however. It looks like your minibot is almost 170 ft. long.

That's outside the 12x12x12 limit, but otherwise a really cool design. Question: I see it has wings. Can it fly?

Kudos to the Photoshop job there. All in all, it is pretty hilarious.

I foresee future minibot usage by the GDC... but is the arch going to travel to all those regionals next year?

Photoshop credit goes to our founding mentor, graphics guru and Duke of Duct-tape, Tim Grogan. He is the master of our Killer Bee graphics on the robot and the marketing of our image. Feel free to compliment him in person (he'll mostly be found in our Archimedes pits at St. Louis)!

Will this be in use before or after our Wednesday tour of the Arch? I have a fear of bus-sized bees.

For those of you who haven't seen the arch in person, you're in for a treat. TV shows and photos don't do it justice. Standing next to it and looking up thinking about the how the people built it in 60s is just amazing.

It was amazing following the build. My brother kept a scrapbook that followed its progress. It makes me think there are many such forgotten scrapbooks stored away in the St. Louis area. I hope everyone takes the time to tour the arch and learn about its history.

That depends on the limit switch ...

(an accelerometer would be better, but not allowed per <R92>)

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
