Future tankers from New Joizy #1

["Werner, Paul" <WernerP-at-AETNA.com>]

To all,

First, the typos in that email were deliberately placed to test the
crypographers at AMW and PUFF. Their response was analyzed by the mental
health staff deep in the bowels of the New Joizy headquarters (codename
'squirrelworks').

Their recommendation is that since FTFNJ will need Anvilus controllers
and other technical information to get the Elefant operational, we
should say nice things about them. Also, that we should smile and wave
each time the KH-12 goes over. Our linguistics staff also asked
instructed headquarters staff at FTFNJ in how to say  'kiss up' in 6
different languages.

With that over, I'd appreciate some info about mechanical sources.

EV Warriors - Is robotcombat.com the only place to get EV Warriors? I
haven't seen much elsewhere or on Ebay. Are they being discontinued?

Gears, sprockets, mechanical - Any other sources than robotcombat.com
also? I'm looking to generally replicate the transmissions of T002 or
T005. Haven't been able to find 10 or 30 tooth spockets to fit the 8mm
shaft of the EV Warrior. Your comments are appreciated.

Roller Chain - Will, do I understand that you have 2060 chain for sale?
I will probably need 20 or so feet of it.

Batteries - Gel Cells? What is battle life expectancy for these, an
entire day? If vehicle chassis height permits, would a garden tractor
battery be an alternative or is this too heavy?

Radio control - Are any quick start guides for this
available/recommended? This is new for me.

Anvilus motor controller - Would it make sense to use a second
controller of this type for gun traverse on a SPG like an Elefant,
adapting it 2 motors in an articulated mount?

Thanks in advance from FTFNJ,

Paul ('have a nice day, PUFF daddy') Werner

Given the rural environs of Anvilus Machine Works,
we are somewhat dubious of the acronym PUFF
"Pennsylvania URBAN Fighting Force" and the
concomitant appellation "PUFF Daddy".

However, we do like the sound of "Gansta Tankas".

In appreciation, we plan to paint future tanks from
New Joizy in vibrant colors befitting their tough
reputation (probably pink).

Once your tank is operational, there is no such
word as neutral.

Our SR-71 program was scrapped last year and
all available funds were diverted for a new Keyhole
KH-12 surveillance satellite.  Our current KH-12
has experienced a heavier-than-usual workload
tracking the Tri-Pact Finance Minister back-and-forth
between MD and Las Vegas.

The new KH-12 will be launched into geosynchronous
orbit directly about Tri-Pact HQ to monitor their
nefarious dealings with Tyng the Merciless and the
Virginia Tiny Tankers (and future tankers from Joizy).
