Mike missed the first year of trophies the 2003 Robot rodeo....

They were made from donated parts from various scrapyards around orlando (can anyone say bithlo?) I still see the team spirit one when i go visit 179's work area. Big thanks to tytus and 179 for helping me out with the trophies this year too bad tytus got hurt and couldnt help with the final build.

If you want to see the whole gallery of this years trophies be sure to check out the flickr page

Andrew, I don't know how to thank you. This is the 2nd year in a row you took the responsibility to do the trophies and that was one less thing I had to worry about. You have done a lot for Mayhem.

... the trophies came out great. I love them. It was nice to see them at my house right after I got back from work. My mouth dropped when I saw them.
