I just saw this thing live and I must say it was incredibly impressive.  I
talked with a gentlemen from SMART for a bit of time, but I forget his name (I
believe it was Mark).  Anyway, hats off to you folks, it was a really neat
display.  The whole Expo was a lot of fun with many cool things to see.  It has
me excited to actually participate in the Con next year.  I'm also stoked about
attending my first SMART meeting next month.  Good work folks!!

Additionally Gus had a cool RC car that he ran in a race. With four wheels it
has two wheel steering (that really IS non-obvious!) and three wheel drive. I'll
let him describe it more. Very nice!
