I have some good and bad news. The bad news is that our friend Hitoshi Hirota is leaving Toronto for a new job in Chicago. Those of you who've attended rtlEvents since the early days of the robotics competitions have experienced his great (...) (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
