Besides some new decals and some minor tweaks - nothing has changed significantly with the bot itself since the last update. 

Arrogant Bastard now has two sponsors:

LUX - http://www.lux-seattle.com

SpamButcher Spam Stopper - http://spambutcher.com (this is my own little project)

Final Stats:

Weight: 15.6oz (limit is 16oz)
Weapon: 6000 rpm spinning carbide blade (give or take 2000 rpm)
Power Source: 600ma 4.8v nimh
Steering: "car-style"
Armor: Lexan
Frame: PVC Tubing
Cost: $420 (only about $60 worth of parts in bot)
Build Time: 125 hours

The competition is this Sunday (7/21) in Corvallis, OR.  Fighting starts at 1pm.
It's part of a larger festival - daVinci Days - admission is $10.50.

I'll save you the time of going to mapquest - it's about 260 miles / 4.5 hours from Seattle.

I have it from a "confidential source" that the winner of the last competition - Derek Young (http://www.automatum.com/) will not be entering a bot this time.  This is a relief (his last bot - Hozer'd was pretty nasty).
