Whoops again!

In the words of Biz Markie: "Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?"

Good catch :)  That's what happens when you cut and paste too much.  At least I
made some nice diagrams.  I didn't even have to ask JohnG or JeffVW to do the
LDraw...I did those myself!

I wish I could have made the drag racing event. We're busy over here getting
ready for NWBrickCon this weekend, though, so I didn't have the time. Sounds
like it went real well, but there hasn't been an event summary yet.

Actually, really well, stranegly enough.  Around 10AM, it was me, Chris and a
CBC photography crew.  We were kinda worried.  Anyways, ten robots showed up,
and it was a great showing of some new faces.  Everyone had fun, and most of the
robots worked, which was a treat.

Mini Block Stacking sounds fun. I think the current size limit is real tight,
though. A 10"-cube robot would be much more reasonable.

Yeah, but then it wouldn't be rtlToronto, would it? :)  Seriously, a lot of
people had fun with the 8" marble sorting machines in January, so, I think this
one will carry on the fun of building small.

If you need encouragement, just imagine Ashley Glennon screaming "MICROSCALE!"
in the background.*

His microscale presentation was hilarious.  I wanted to build Microscale just
watching him.  Right up there with that Nick Kappatos from .space.  He's also
hilarious, but the exact opposite, all deadpan.  Those two made my trip to
BrickFest2004.
