K*bots which were inducted into the K*bot Hall of Fame at the K*bot Ollie Awards Banquet at the 2006 & 2007 K*bot World Championships.

“Induction into the K*bot Hall of Fame Museum”

“Godzilla” Built in 1999 it was the first K*bot to become a powerhouse star. Even though this Division 2 four time San Antonio and one time Las Vegas Regional Champion from Texas never won a K*bot World Championship it became the overall winning (most victories) K*bot in the first seven years of K*bots. The teenager on the far right was the creator of Godzilla.

“Greem Reaper” This was simply the best K*bot in the world. Edy Valdez from Corpus Christi, Texas created the most feared K*bot in the world. 2002 and 2005 Division 1 K*bot World Champion only lost two times in history. Even the best K*bot in the world found out K*bot life is an adventure as he had shocking losses at the 2003 and 2004 K*bot World Championships. Edy Valdes is now a level one K*bot Instructor at the K*bot World Championships.

“Project X” This was the first Division M superstar K*bot to become a UK Champion. Division M was born in 2001 in the country of England by a group of dedicated young students and Toby Wheeler that created this well built K*bot launching machine to become the first Division M K*bot star. Toby Wheeler has now graduated from college in England with a law degree and now is the Assistant Director of the K*bot World Championships in Las Vegas.

“Wrath” The 2004 and 2005 Division 3 K*bot World Champion. This was the only K*bot at the time in any Division to go undefeated (Regional and World K*bot Championships) in its short two year history of competition. Oliver and his father and mother, Dr. Peter and Heidi Serrao, were lost in a tragic fire in their home in Corpus Christi, Texas. This truly special world class family loved life and people and touched our lives in the K*bot world. Our K*bot Awards each year are called the “Ollies”, named after Oliver Serrao.

“Crosshair" This was the first non-American K*bot to win a K*bot World Championship. Andrew Martin from RAF Base in Brize Norton in England under the guidance of K*bot Instructor Toby Wheeler, also from England, shocked the Americans and took the World Championship from the Americans in Division 2 at the 2004 K*bot World Championships in Las Vegas. It was retired as Andrew Martin built Crosshair 2 in 2005 and Crosshair 3 in 2007 to replace the original Crosshair. Crosshair 3 on the right came within only 1/4 of and inch on regaining his 2004 Division 2 K*bot World Championship crown, which is still held by three time world champion Devyn Boden with Maneater from Corpus Christi, Texas.

“C4” This was the first Division M K*bot to win back to back K*bot World Championships. Chace Younger was born in Palm Springs, California and competed in the first K*bot World Championship in 2002 in Las Vegas. One of his goals was to become a K*bot World Champion and master K*bot builder. He accomplished both of these goals as he is now a level one K*bot Instructor at the K*bot World Championships. Division M has grown into a prestige's K*bot Division in the world of K*bots, thanks in part to this outstanding young man and his passion for Division M.

These K*bot awards are named after Oliver Serrao our 2004 Division 3 World Champion who lost his life in a tragic fire in Texas. They called him “Ollie” and the K*bot award will honor this outstanding young student who was loved by many who knew him. To receive an “Ollie” was something special because it was voted on by every K*bot student who have a passion for K*bots from around the world. 120 people attended the K*bot Ollie Awards at the City Of Las Vegas Veterans Memorial Leisure Services Center.
