swampcat overkill

["Nick Hoke" <nhoke-at-nksd.wednet.edu>]

The swampcat has enough room for a lot of batteries, and I figure I'm going
to be too lazy
to replace spent ones with fresh ones, so I'll just put as many as I can in
there so I can run
it for at least a couple hours without refueling.

Yeah, what with the armor plating I'm also adding, maybe I should call it
AC003 Swampcat Overkill.

Hiya Nick, it looks real nice already without the signs, I can't wait to
see it with!

I noticed you were writing about using 4 x 18AH batteries, isn't that WAY
overkill?
