Man, that thing was heavy
Trey kinda fudged the weight limits for that one, just because it was So Cool. IIRC it was 425 lbs? We picked it up on the way to BB2K in San Fran; they had to drive it out on a forklift...sharp corners and all that.
I don't think it was *completely* unsuited to combat--remember the Big Fight it had with Trey's Ginsu? The only reason Mark lost that fight was he couldn't get the thing righted when it got knocked on its butt first time. And the only reason he couldn't do *that* was he had added a steel plate horizontally on the butt minutes before the fight: it made a perfect tripod out of his bot. Cryin shame, it was. Ginsu pretty much destroyed himself wanging on Mechadon.
P.S. Look for Mark Setrakian's day-job work in the upcoming MIB II.
---------------------------------
A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas;...despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel, but they are powerless against the habitual union of ideas, they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibres of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires."
Jacques Servan, 1767
