Hey... does anyone have pictures from today's practice rounds? There were some rad bots out there, I loved the pirate sails one, that thing was awesome when used right... makes me wish we coulda gone with something with a large wingspan.

343 was great. I don't have any photos yet, but expect some tomorrow when I bring my camera.

I think the annoucer is in love with Sparky.

Seriously.. he was kind of annoying =/

Yeah, I didn't like him. I WANT JEFF! Anyway, I did think it was funny since he kept mentioning Sparky.

First of all, it's not a scooter; it's a Human Transporter. Second, yes it is pretty neat, I rode it. If you've got the money, get one.

3rd, he didn't bring it today.

4th yes he did. I was in his way while he was riding it so I had to move out of the way.

I think he's talking about the teams that have made a little 4 wheeled thing that looks like a segway (but isn't b/c of 4 wheels ).

UMMMMMMM Sanddrag..... Its "IT" a "SCOOTER" and in most Cities it dont transport no Humans, they have and will be banned by narrow minded nenderthals who have no vision. A duck is a duck no matter what you wish to call it so lets call "IT" a scooter. Thats my .02c

We are very proud of our little segway..offically known as the "Knight Krawler" =) It is two wheeled and was a pet project becuz of our extreme love of Dean's Segway...who btw rode it on Thursday. =)
