(...) The attitude has always been, the 8" is a rule, but we'd rather have you at the event with a robot than have you not at the event, with a working bot sitting on a shelf. No one has ever bothered to measure robots, even though I bring a ruler. (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
