Saurobot was prepared for demonstration at NIWeek 2003 in Austin, Texas during August, 2003.  NIWeek is a conference/trade-show produced by National Instruments, one of the primary sponsors of BotLabs.  The pictures below show Saurobot I in working order just before NIWeek 2003.  Note that the clear plastic tops are for trade-show purposes, and will be replaced with metal armor before combat.  Additional modifications are also yet to be made, but overall, Saurobot I is in working order.

In addition, a short video is available that shows the tornado drive in operation, with computer controlled translation while spinning.  However, I have not had time to optimize the compression of this video, so be forewarned that it is 23MB in size.  You should only try viewing this video clip if you have a high-speed connection or an incredible amount of patience.
