The day Montgomery "Scotty" Scott turned 8 years old, March 3, 2230, his maternal grandfather, RAF Capt. Alastair Ferguson (RET), a renowned tinkerer, gave little Scotty an Aberdeen Electronics Build-It-Yourself Electronic Chess Set. Once complete, the pieces of the chess set were maneuvered around the board by remote control. Unfortunately, Grandpa Alastair delighted in proving his chess superiority over the boy and berated Scotty game after game when the boy's chess pieces lost power and he was forced to resign. "You need more power, boy!" Alastair gloated. "I'm giving it all I've got, Captain!" the boy replied. Furious at his grandfather, Scotty set to work designing a new charging station for his chessmen. You see before you the results of that effort, the Scotsman's Revenge Power Station. Royalties on sales of the unit paid for Scotty's engineering studies at the University of Edinburgh and the monthly card he mailed to his grandfather with the simple inscription "Checkmate, Laddie!"
