Cycles Rad. 1919
Note the ruined building in the background and the remaining barbed wire in the foreground, the leafless tress; plus the cobbled surface -- all implying, i think, a Paris-Roubaix race just after WWI.

Back in 2005, Ken & I both worked as subcontractors to NASA. A work friend discovered this in the basement of the building we worked in - Building 4610 - on Redstone Arsenal/Huntsville, Alabama. (incidentally the building my Dad worked in as a NASA employee), and we went down to look!
Robot alert! We "think" he was on loan from the Alabama Space & Rocket Center, as a fun exhibit. Made me think of WALL-E.
I just came across these old photos from 2005, looking through my archives for something else- 20 years ago!
Name: Rad Rod
Type: Speed
Pilot: Bill Bolts
Special Ability: Quad Mode
Bill Bolts has always been something of a gearhead, so when the Mecha Racing League was established he quickly jumped on the bandwagon. He took one of his old hot rods, and modified it into his own personal MRL mech. The Rad Rod is extremely small and lightweight, giving it a speed advantage over its heavier opponents. It is capable of changing between the standard humanoid mode and a four-legged stability based mode for sharp turns or extra torque and speed from its beefy rear wheels.
This guy turned out considerably smaller than I originally intended, but If anything I think that adds to the aesthetic. The transformation wasn't part of the original concept, but was integrated halfway through the building process because I could. The arms are last-minute, because I thought it needed something a little bit extra near the cab assembly.
This was built for the Mecha Racing League. If you would like to participate, check out the group here!
It's no wonder that God's plans are inaccessible.
Many still do not understand those of Picasso.
