Problem was, Rob Stehlik was busy with work 900 km away in Toronto, so it
was very hard to modify and make changes--it's almost always virtually
impossible to do an event by proxy like that, you need to be there to tweak
and modify the robot. JeffVW was kind enough to reprogram the thing and
miss Jennifer Clark and the Spybotics presentation, but we couldn't get past
the physical interference problem.
Nonetheless, Rob's robot was nothing short of spectacular in design. It was
the only robot which actually deployed and then recovered it's own bridge.
