 Sad bent 18" auger & tiny 3" hole saw augment the "duct tape mummy" look [photo: Laurie Seymour] |
 What a trooper--ready for action only hours later |
 The unzipped 6" hole saw that went a-flyin' |
 Dr. Inferno had the most spectacular death of the event--the audience & media were highly amused |

 Off comes the tank tread! |

 The streets of San Francisco are safe, thanks to Dr. Inferno |
CONSTRUCTION [FALL 97-SUMMER 99]
 Drivetrain: 2 surplus car power window motors with custom wheels |
 Wheels have lightening holes for weight savings & coolness, tread is epoxied-on vacuum cleaner belts (grippy!) |
 Aluminum brackets secure the gearhead motors to the base |
