The key to a good battlebot build is the motor you put this motor in tandem on a single axel and you have some real power or use them to power a "killing" feature like a hammer or blade rotation...👍

Had the shop TV on the Cozi Channel this morning and who else comes on but "Steve Austin The Six Million Dollar Man"
what a guy! stopped a nuclear arms shipment, flew a 707 jet with some mechanics issues, avoided a global conflict and then in the end gets the girl. In today dollars our man (played by Lee Majors) would be titled the "35 Billion Dollar Man"

Just when you thought the Lost Colony was lost forever we have a new breakt-hrough. A new area for digging and historical excavation has been discovered, finally mapped out using ground-penetrating radar marking a possible location to where the Lost colonists may have retreated and set up in a new area, previously known to them.

What is being called a "metallurgical and science workshop" set up by Thomas Harriot and Joachim Gans just a few years before the permanent settlers arrived is the subject for this new dig.
Please do some research on Harriet and Gans, you will find out some extremely interesting things about them....this "hidden history" is now the subject of the new dig site and also offers a possible explanation of where the Lost Colony may have ended up.

Thomas Harriot was the first person to actually make a sketch of the Moon through a telescope (yes before Galileo) Joachim Gans was the first Jew in North America ( he was a mining expert and specialized in Copper). Now remember these two conducted their expedition a few years before the settlers from The Lost Colony landed in North Carolina, when they (Harriet and Gans) left whatever they had built was it was left intact. Thomas Harriot learned the language of the coastal algonquian indians and was friendly with them.

This area is now being widely explored by The First Colony Foundation, a group of archaeologists partnering with the National Park Service. The story of the Lost Colony is everything a good movie is made of, now we have this additional information which I hope will make for an excellent mini series. This mystery has lots of twist and turns especially with the addition of these two new figures to the Lost Colony Saga. Here are some links you can copy and paste to learn more about the two, be sure to read more in the brief biography section on Gans:

My eldest Grandson Bobby Hoeft of VMI out front in the middle sets the pace and leads the way.

On Saturday morning, more than 25 members of the 1st Class, including the regimental commander and others holding leadership positions, were dropped off at the Arnold’s Valley overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway to begin a two-day, 46-mile march back to the Institute that would take them through parts of Bedford, Amherst, and Rockbridge counties.

The number of miles was chosen to commemorate the 40 innocent lives lost on United Airlines Flight 93 and two VMI alumni killed in the attacks.

As they marched from Arnold’s Valley, cadets carried the names of 40 passengers and crew on the plane taped to their rucksacks.

During the day on Saturday, the cadets marched 21.6 miles to Rice Mountain Overlook, where they had dinner and camped outdoors overnight. Sunday dawned early for those cadets camping out on the Blue Ridge Parkway. After a 5 a.m. wakeup, they marched the remaining 17.7 miles to VMI and then did 6.7 miles around the Parade Ground to complete their 46-mile journey.

"How beautiful is death, when earned by virtue"

I'm currently doing some research on what I've termed the "forgotten war for American independence"......The war of 1812.
There were many fronts, skirmishes and battles of the War of 1812 but in Baltimore MD the battle of North Point and the surrounding area was a combination of strategic genius and luck by the outnumbered Americans. Brigadier General John Stricker was ordered to delay the advance of British troops near North Point to give the city of Baltimore and Fort McHenry time to bolster their defenses. The British plan was to capture the fort and city so they could control the entire Port of Baltimore which would have decimated Commerce within the United States at that time. My research into the "hidden history" of this war also showed some of the brilliant yet simple tactics used by The Americans to help push the British back. General Stricker amassed his troops at North Point by using swamplands marshes and waterways to guard his flanks to make it very difficult for the British to attack from any area except straight on. Also General Stricker sent out small numbers of skirmishers to engage and harass the British on the Long March from their Landing to North Point, it was in one of these skirmishes that General Ross the commander of British forces was killed proving to be extremely demoralizing to the British troops further delaying their advance. Also interesting to this point is General Ross's body was taken to the rear and packed into a barrel of Jamaican rum to be preserved for burial later in Nova Scotia. One of my favorite strategies used by General Stricker commander of the American forces, was the simple digging of ditches and pits and various holes along the route that the British would have to march, they caused the British to have to check these and move around them. There is no way I can fit all of my research here on Instagram but I hope I've peaked your interest enough that you will discover more about America's hidden history.
