No. Indiana is a very powerful state in terms of LEGO use, but we're not (yet!)
powerful enough to license our state name. Thanks for asking!

This Sunday we're going to test out Indy 5.00 or other robots for Brickworld.
And, did anyone catch that story on channel 8 on Thursday night:

This rock crawling stuff is getting to be a little rough on LEGO pieces. First
there were broken u-joints from my 4wd steering truck
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/JBrost/BrokenLEGO/100_0570.jpg
Now there are deformed friction pins from my latest creation
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/JBrost/BrokenLEGO/100_1497.jpg
The bent pins were a result of an end-over-end flip off a 45 deg slope.
Normally that wouldn't have been a problem, but I foolishly tried to catch it
mid-flip. Too much stress on the pins and they deformed and went shooting out
of the rock crawler.
But this is too much fun, I'm not letting a little thing like broken LEGO pieces
stop me!

Usually, in May we run our Indy 5.00 event, but this year we're going to push
the date back a few weeks, and run it AFTER the "real" Indy 500.
This year, Indy 5.00 is going to be one of the Mindstorms Challenges at
Brickworld (http://www.brickworld.us)
The final rules will be posted soon, but I believe they will be basicly the same
as in past years...

I'm working on a new source for mats, so people may be able to purchase pratice
mats.
But now, start designing...
