Well, despite several setbacks, the Killer Robot project has been proceeding nicely. As you may recall, the field test of Killer Robot version 2 last month in the North Las Vegas dunes was less than successful, and by less than successful, I mean very flammable and explodey. (See
here) (Word to wise BTW, if you see an evil genius testing his Killer Robot in the desert, don't ride up in your stupid quad-runner and ask if you can put your kid on it and take a picture. That gets you a poison dart in the neck.) Despite this setback, we were able to rally and finish construction of Killer Robot version 3 on time and, more importantly, under budget. Special thanks to evil minion #12, he has a part time job as shift supervisor over at Chucky Cheese and was kind enough to let us steal one of the robot performers and use it for parts (Hey, you try running an Evil Organization bent on world domination on a typical IT guy's salary. It aint easy.) As you can see below, Killer Robot version 3 is up and running relatively smoothly. There are still some kinks to work out in the CPU department, Evil Minion #4 wasn't able to secure a human brain from his gig as night watchmen at UMC and I'm not willing to give up the Quad Core in my PC (you think Call of Duty 4 runs on a Pentium III? Think again!) So we will just have to wait and see on that one.
