Here is an interview with our friend Jim Drew of Wicked Air Sportz. He speaks of the turbo rev board again . Just give it a read.

I'm surprised no one else has jumped on this...I thought it was interesting to hear the real thoughts by paintballs biggest *EDIT* Do not ever curse here again. Army artist...

Barrels are a mixture. Personally, I find the stock Intimidator barrel the best thing to use when you are having difficulties with paint match... you can drive a truck down the barrel (.699), it shoots straight, and it looks good. It's all about the looks!

.699!?!?!??!?!?!?! WTF!?!?!

I sure hope that's a typo, or he's not too smart :P

His description of how the Turbo Rev supposedly works, just makes me cringe.

I can't believe anyone who supposedly has the degrees he does can believe it's possible

If it was possible, why does he use a Halo B to demonstrate his guns

You can find a thread moved from the roundtable forum to the tech forum which has links to other threads where I pointed out how 'unlikely' his claims are to happen...

right there biggest BS artist in the industry "yea I developed my hopper board to be able to learn routines in feeding." Theres no routines in how much you shoot your gun unless your a back player IMO.

The TurboRev was created because I got tired of the whirring of the motor when the hopper was empty. It didn't take getting lit up too many times before I finally had to do something about that "bunker me now" alarm that people can hear when you are out of paint!

In 1983, I graduated from high school and college at the same time, earning 3 degrees (electrical engineering, computer science, and physics).

A new hopper, the Equalink (computer interface for the Equalizer and all future Wicked Air Sportz products), Equalizer accessories such as the Intellifeed/Warp link kit, portable printer, and others. We also have some products that we are working on that are a bit hush-hush.

[Jeb_Hoge]

Portable printer? But...WHY?

WOW!

Well there you have it...

Resistance is futile.

A 4 function calculator has more power than the computer they used to put astronauts on the moon.

And consequentially a 4 function calculator also has more power than the WAS chip

I think this guys full of hot air. I would like to see someone challenge his supposed "3 degrees" and also, if he is so intelligent, why did he not go for a masters/doctorate degree and why dosent he own his own business/work for a major company, etc???

HE reminds a bit of the guy from Als Porno and paintball Just less extreme.

I've said that!

But this guy does actually create things which work... (his products are good, just not what he hypes them to be/claims).

This guy needs to stop hitting the bong and learn how his own products work.

. Its a simple idea, but the implementation is quite a feat. It took about 3 months of daily work to get the software to work properly. 3 months to write 500 bytes of code.

There is no doubt in my mind that he did not write up and design that board at all. That is what the smart R & D people are for. This guy is just a bullsedited out challenge to filter - cphilip er that is flinging words around to make him look smart and make people want to buy the products.

Keep it clean Veg. You know better - cphilip

Just about every stupid comment this guy has made has been posted but I think this may be one of my favorites .

"For paint, we don't have a favorite. We like the RPS Advantage shell, but not for tournaments where we find that it jams too easily..."

How the heck can you like something that jams all the time. It would seem to me that it would either be a problem with their loader not being able to feed fast enough or being to ignorant and not being able to match the paint to the right barrel.
