Okay, I can now officially say it: Tigerbolt is back. I’m sorry but I’m just very happy that we finally got a sponsor. All I can say is thank you Alstom. =) Ok, I’m done now.
Matt who is way too happy for his own good

I’m so glad to hear that you will be in.
So now kick some butt, will you!
I say that because I remember back in 1996 (our rookie year) at nationals we were in the pits right near Tigerbolt and I was very impressed with the design of that robot. And of course that team won the nationals. I learned a lot that year by watching what that team did and was inspired to work much harder the next year to have a very competitive team/machine.
I guess you can say that Tigerbolt '96 was Wildstang’s first robot/team role model. The rest is history.

1996 was our rookie year also, and we were amazed with the simplistic design, that just totally rocked the competition.
Don’t mistake simplistic for simple, or for boring. I believe the had one of the best looking robot’s I’ve seen that year, with the big airbrushed tiger

Our rookie year was 1997, and we used video from 1996 and ‘the Tiger’ as the benchmark to work toward in our rookie design. That was a great machine.
Welcome back Tigerbolt!
