On June 2, 2001, my family competed in the TC Mech-Wars at the Aldrich Arena in the Twin Cities. Our robot was named Bob. "A stupid name to strike fear in the hearts of our opponents" was the reason for the robot's name. These photos show Bob and its opponents.

This is Bob with its mighty trowel
of doom: A truly scary weapon.

The driver of Bob's first
opponent, Tosca, rests up
for the big match.

another driver's baby.

Tim is holding Bob's sponsor:
Josie!

My father, Steven, and Tim are
checking Bob after its second match
while Christy and Josie watch on.

Bob's second opponent,
Centipede, is being repaired after
its hard-won victory over Bob.
