Robert Dahl was artificially gestated in a genetic research lab in Gainesville, Florida in 1997. He is the legal property of Nike Inc. and the prototype of a bioengineering experiment attempting to create the perfect athlete. After initial testing revealed that he ran a 62 second 40 meter dash, it became obvious that serious alterations were needed and he was assigned to the U.S. Marine Corps, a subsidiary of Nike WorldCorp, for training. Upon his return he was pitted against Emmanuel Lewis in a closely observed game of one-on-one basketball. Robert was reportedly "schooled." Nike executives promptly declared the experiment a complete disaster. Robert is now on lease to Tackle Loco until his contract runs out in 2002, at which time his body will become unstable.
