Klein and Sons Automotive Repair and Robotics owner and operator, Jim Klein, built The Black Knight. The Black Knight is a super heavy weight robot weighing in at 340 lbs. Powering The Black Knight is a twin cylinder 400cc snowmobile engine. The armor is made of titanium. The drive system is all hydraulic. And the front has a two-foot lifting arm and removable plow. Moreover, The Black Knight competes around the United States with Team Klein. Team Klein is composed of Jim Klein, wife Dawn, sons JJ and Adam, and Sean Clark. Furthermore, teammate JJ Klein is a person with apraxia. Therefore, Team Klein has decided to use the robot to help raise apraxia awareness by promoting The Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America on the robot. To learn more about JJ and apraxia please see JJ’s Apraxia-STARS webpage at http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=112756. In addition, Team Klein would also like to send a special thank you to Galt Industries of Canton, Ohio for supporting Team Klein's Apraxia Awareness Campaign by donating all the titanium used in building The Black Knight. They would also like to send another big thank you to PK Screens for designing and printing The Black Knight's Apraxia Kids stickers.
