Title: Heard a rumor tonight. Fact or fiction?
Post by: DP3 on June 23, 2006, 03:36:06 PM

I heard that Mo Pinel is the mastermind behind the Robo/Machine/Mean MAchine weightblock concept and that it was scratched from his plans or using it as the 2006 core in his series.  Is this fact, or fiction?

Hmmm, this seems fiction because he has his own company. Also, he has a partnership with Brunswick, so I can't see him being involved with Track. Just what I was thinking.

I may be wrong, but didn't Mo and Del work together or have some other connection in the past?

Didn't the base of the core come from the Freak? If Mo had nothing to do with that core I doubt he had anything to do with this one.

The MOrpheus cores were Mo designed/inspired/planned whatever you want to call it.  I remember that for a fact.

False. Fiction. Untrue. If you remember, the Robo came out while Del wasn't president of Track. Not to mention Mo and Del haven't worked together on a core since the freak series.

Now that Mo is associated with Brunswick they don't like him associating with Del since he is head of another company/competitor.

As was previously mentioned the Morpheus core line was the last collaboration of Mo and Del.  I'm not sure, but that core line pretty much died in the Phenom line, perhaps as late as the Animal Untamed.

The Robo core is a design from inhouse engineers. I personally know the designer of this core, and his name is not Mo Pinel.

Mo is not behind the Robo/Machine/Mean Machine core.....I was told by Del at a PA clinic that it was designed by a young engineer that is currently with Track.....along with Del's influence as well.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification.  I heard this from a prety realiable guy too so that puzzles me if he made it up or was just given false info.
