I'm taping it right now on the highest quality tape speed. If I ever get
my video card, I'll try to catch the short few second clips of some
major bots (Spyder, Stryder, etc.), or I'll atleast capture pictures.
Whatever I do though, you can also expect new pictures of my own Spyder,
and hopefuly MECI IV M later.

My first personal video will be Bronco. It walks very nicely. I do need
to add an adjustable supply, cause It's bounce when "fed" a brand new
battery does detriment it's ability to hold a straight direction (why
else would I call it Bronco! :)

The problem... I WANT MY VIDEO CARD!!! annoying backorders!!! When I get
it, expect a big page update, with new pictures.

Also, if there is anything (screenshots) you want from that video, I'll
try to post them. Probably keep them to familiar beam bots or REALY cool
ones, just to kinda respect TLC. Hehe!
