So I moved into my own apartment a couple months back. That wouldn’t be worth mentioning here except for the fact that I now have two garages! One for my jeep and the other for my tools! I took advantage of Black Friday and got myself a huge shiny new craftsman tool box. Of course what use are tools without a place to use them. So I then proceeded to get some workbenches and stools. I will get my CNC mill and possibly my CNC lathe out of storage when I can get a buddy over to help me move them. This is going to be a serious workshop when everything is said and done.
For anyone wondering about Blender Mini, it is not going to happen this year. A massive redesign (you will see) coupled with the trouble of getting sponsors in an economy like this gave me the excuse I needed to take this year off. As for RHS’s robot, I am not going to be the one to spoil any surprises they have in store.
For anyone related to Battlebots who has been living under a rock, the air dates for last years competition start december 10th at 9:00 PM ET on CBS College Sports according to the official battlebots twitter.

You should build a 120, with the college show happening it should be much easier to get sponsors if you tell them their name could be seen on TV.
