Our Roboteer Counter-Parts
Having not slept much lately and always thinking of robots, I got into an interesting thought of our counter part roboteers over seas. I'm pretty much just going to label a roboter from aus and the person/persons that i reckon they match overseas. Feel free to add your own!
Aus Roboteer - Overseas Roboter: Reason.
George - Mark Sentrakian: George comes up with the animation styles of Mark's work and still puts on a show even when his bot isn't going well. Also the receeding hair line matches too
Brett - Ian Lewis: Bretts a man with many talents. IG may not be the most dangerously armed robot, but combined with his Ian Lewis like driving skills, he can become your worst nightmare!
Nick - Ed Hoppit: Likes to push the envelope in every aspect, sometimes even the budget
The Kerison Bros. - The Rose Bros.: Besides that both counter parts are twins, these guys really are similar(no pun intended). The Rose family both have engineering and electrical skills by trade and so do our own Kerison's! Both teams build excellent robots!
Gary - Alan Gribble: Has more metal skills and creativity then most around! Builds robots that look visually pleasing and still makes them competative.
Mel - Lisa Winterborne: Our resident rebel woman, out to show the guys how it should be done. We've seen a few guys swallow there pride against both Mel and Lisa with their very similar robots.
Tim Forde - Dig(Sumpthing): Both Tim and Dig build their robots with the whole, simple, scrap and rust appeal. Only thing that lets them both down is there non-simplified radio gear!
Jake - Terry Ewert: If he's going to build a robot, it's got to be made entirely in his work shop from nil. Weather it's making urethane belts on the lathe or selling wheels on the side. These two always make it from billet.
Chrisjon - Toni (Bulldog Breed): Big tough guys on the outside, big kids on the inside Both produce winning robots too.
Well that's me fresh out of people for now.... more when I think of them _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

Semi On-topic...
An opportunity to quote a favourite saying I read once that I think applies to most "crazy" creative people doing wacky things..
"“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the trouble makers. The round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things, they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
thought for the night.. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
