I'd like to do a Live3 one day...JohnG had also mentioned doing regular old car
racing. As for no holds barred, sure yeah, with RC defintely, RCX
driven...it'll be like the steamroller scene in Austin Powers: Slow and drawn
out. Ultimately unsatisfying.
I don't know where we can do it (Hobby Show?! You have one day to build
something and on Sunday, we smack the crap out of each other? Or those crazy
guys with the race track next door who kept smashing into our display?)

Wayne fried a controller? I hope he talked to CA to replace it.

One oddball idea I had for rtlToronto17 was to do Shirt Folders. Everyone
seemed so intrigued with that shirt folding thing Derek brought up. Make a
machine that will fold a t-shirt. Japanese narration is optional.
I was thinking about the mechanism and given the way I like to fold shirts, I
think it might be doable with a LOT of work. There's a lot of functions with
many axes of motion. Plus the concept I had required you to lay the shirt flat
on the table. If you're going to do that manually, then remove it from the
machine, the effort to actually do the folding part of the task is not a lot
more for a person.
