What were you doing a year ago?

RE: What were you doing a year ago?
Ahhhh battle-bots.

Reminds me of the time a friend and I used to buy the cheapy RC boats from the department store and design/fix weapons to them, toss them into the pool and try to sink/disable the other.

We would do this once a week and gathered a little crowd of folks (maybe 10-15 people) who would come to spectate. A couple/few fellas went out and brought a boat of their own and joined the fray.

After a few nasty explosions (our only 'rule' was no projectile weapons, small, about firecracker size, explosive bombs were permitted but sometimes what you thought would be firecracker size turned out not to be) some cracked windows and an irate apartment manager we had to stop doing it in their pool in the dead of night.

I was the maintenance manager there at the time, after management found out what we were doing I was no longer. Smile

The 'game' was evolving nicely, no more explosive devices and turning it from a free for all into a sort of 'death-race' where you must race like 6 laps around the pool, first survivor to cross the finish line wins a beer. That sort of thing, but after being chased off our 'course' we all kinda drifted our own way and Battle Boat Death Racing was no more. Sad
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
