If you like what these kids built, please go to their YouTube page and leave a nice comment, I'd like to pump up their views. They really worked hard and did all the welding, bolting and assembly of this cool device.
Here's their YouTube page:

Hey DR,
You've just guaranteed that I will not be letting my kid visit "Dojo Rat." He doesn't need to be getting any more ideas. (LOL).
