Engineer on team #419, Rambots, from Wentworth Institute of Technology.
We have been brainstorming (me and the mouse in my pocket) and we have found an alternate power then hampsters or motors. the only problem will be suppling these power sources as tehy are not easy to come by. You see, we would like to use Snarks, but as you probably can guess, they are not easy to find. I need to know of a good snark farm. If anyone has any information, please email me. thanks a lot.

You and the mouse in your pocket? Reminds me of George in “Of Mice & Men” who would walk around with a mouse in its pocket 'cause it was soft 
ok, that was totally random, but thats what I got out of that post.

Hey, we don’t test our spider-goat on the poor little hampsters. We just power it with them. And on the other hand, have you guys actually played half-life. Do you know what snarks can do? Frankly, I’m sticking with my furry little domesticated friends.
