Last October, Fancy Fernando Rizo of the extravagant beard and I bunked up for a trip down to Austin for the stupendous awesomeness that is Maker Faire. During a brief lull in the mechanized carnage of robot battles, I put down my giant turkey drumstick and Slurpee and walked over to casually ask what a group of three guys were doing with twin 8 foot Tesla coils and a drum kit.
Had I known that the Tesla coils were owned by ArcAttack, and that what is shown in the following video is what they had in store for the crowd later that day, I would not have moved on to the next exhibit.
I would not have gone to the crafting barn.
I would have taken off my shoes, removed my contact lenses and surrendered myself lovingly to the exquisite punishment of lightning powered rawk, chopped out of thin air with two 25,000 volt battle-axes of sonic destruction.
I hope these guys do barmitzvahs...

Did we miss the Tesla coils? Yeah. But did we miss the flame-throwing robots? No sir we did not.
