No, I guess I don't know who in the group does robots, and who doesn't. I
actually assumed Derek did robots, because at rtl 15, he was the only person
from Toronto who had a robot that could actually play Connect-Four. (Even if it
was littered with train parts.) :) And, he had a pretty cool flex-axle driven
pipe racer at Brickfest last year.
And Jeff VW ran (or tried to run) Rob's robot at Brickfest. I guess that really
doesn't make him a robot person, but it does make him a nice guy. :)
And, last year, there were the other guys that entered the pipe racers event;
Dave A. and John G. Are you saying they're not robot guys? I've seen Dave's
book, and several of John's robots. Good stuff.
For a while, I thought you were a robot builder, Calum. But, come to think of
it, I've seen more successful robots built by Chris than by you. :o

I'm ok with that. In fact, I think I prefer it that way. I enjoy coming up
there every once in a while and showing you rtl guys how to build robots.
