Friday
morning, setting up for the race track qualifying round--Mini
Inferno had no trouble getting in a few laps [photo:

Action
shot of running the course--note the elaborate & beautiful
sets--bots emerged from that dark gate in the far corner--neat!

Our worthy opponent through all 3 events, the Killer B, weighed
in at 5x Mini Inferno's weight, and much much bigger all around

The actual Mini Inferno/Killer B race--notice how the lighting
really makes the track look fancy--those blurs on the right are
the bots [photo: Donald

Zoomed in detail of previous shot--Killer B speeding off to
the right, Mini Inferno just touching down after catching some
serious air [photo: Donald Hutson]

Sporting a blue jumpsuit with gold trim, in the fancy, clean,
& well-lit pits, in preparation for the maze after running
the speed demons race track event [photo: Christian

Taped up every single hole on the bot, and then some
to keep the maze waterfall from getting us. Still, a few drops
got in around the antenna (and were promptly absorbed by the mouse
pad vibration damper cushioning the radio) [photo:

Note the use of dual spikes for the maze--didn't want to use
the scoops, which might've gotten Mini Inferno hung up on the
obstacles [photo: Christian Carlberg]
