EPIC FAIL!!!!!

I was not able to melt a hole through the aluminum block engine. The video will be posted as soon as I get the file from the photographer.

We will modify the delivery and increase the scale before the semester is out. As Mr. Freeze (from the old and so-bad-that-it's-good original Batman TV series) would say:

Revenge! I will have Revenge!!!!!!!!
