where is here? W7EL stated it might be. if it's just to jump a signal
over, a wire or piece of RG-58 might be ok.

you don't mention max allowed power out and freq. i know what your up
to, but can't remember the rules.

Mike, I do do *other* stuff apart from build killer robots! :-D

why?!!! :-)

too much time on radios and not enough on bot killing weapory. quick
solution for that... shotgun?

Actually it's been the other way around lately. But the new
disemboweler is quite impressive, though I do say so myself. I'll
upload some pix of it when they're available.

good name. i saw a beast in with the educational exhibits at the state
fair recently. can't remember which competition it was in, Battle Bots
or what. it had a thick piece of steel cut as a lawnmower blade on top.
i'd love to see it up against a bot that just got under the blade and
ran it through with a skewer, but it was some pretty thick plate.
couldn't see much in the way of electronics, just a bunch of thick metal
partitions with heavy wiring going to the hulking motors. it looked like
a lot of other bots with the sloped sides to get under the enemy.

brs,
mike
