Title: Whatever happened to?

Whatever happened to Robosaurus? Anyone know? Last I heard, its owner had it up for grabs at an auction, but it didn't sell. Did he finally put it out to pasture?

Nice to see it going to an airshow SOMEWHERE anyways. I later went on their website and they've FINALLY made some updates to it, including indications of new sponsorship, so I would take that as a good sign of things to come.

BTW - it sold for $575K, which is much lower than they wanted.
