there it is done notice the main power solar unit. the space-age frictionless roller system. the air boat main drive with a c02 rocket booster system the witches magic end effector, the rotary backup power unit and the red and blue team indicator light sabers. and for stealth i put dome black paint on it. coming to a Florida regional near you.

Woo, boy...where to start counting the things that are against the 2007 rules.
Main power source not 12V battery, several illegal part assemblies (obviously purchased before kickoff), the list goes on.
Actually, I looked at the close up of the picture and couldn't help noticing the excellent welding. I've done a bit of welding and can see that whoever did your frame was very skilled.
One of the most elegant frames I have seen!

Nice frame. I think we may have to look out for the dual light sabers this year.

Re: pic: 1889 DONE!!!
ha ha ha ha........, yeah ....... i get the joke and its sorta funny to but common on now, random crap like this associated w/ "teaser" or whatnot at a time like this is NOT very cool BUT i must i agree w/ the fellow a few responces above that the "chassis" (i think) has some superb welding but eitheyrway common now......
