Spyk's World
Spyk's Technical Info
November 13, 2004
Spyk has undergone many changes in
design since his inception. Motors and drive trains have been the biggest
hurdle. Countless hours have been spent designing and testing new systems. I
think we have a winner with the current construction. Weight became a problem.
To fit into the category we wanted we had to remove massive amounts of steel.
That too seems to be under control. Still working on the design of the weapon
actuator. That should be completed in the next few weeks. Spyk is just about
ready to play.
