Helios is our first 30 pound bot with an active weapon. Helios's design has proven to be hugely successful, spawning numerous clones. After 7 competitions, we sold the original Helios, and rebuilt him from the ground up. The original version of Helios is now known as "Montana Joe". The second version was permanantely retired by Dick Stuplich's "F-Bomb".
