Ohhh...I am soo looking forward to Train2...actually I can't even wait until
we meet this Friday at Mel's so we can discuss more about the layouts and
stuff....<and the robotic guys can talk shop...at the other table :) >
I'll have a few surprises for Train2....that I'll save for much, much later.
I'll also hope to have some more surprises for Robotics 9.....I think I sort
of told Iain....well all I can "publicly say" is that it will definitely be
robot related... ;-)

they are soo nice...I am surprised no one got a shot of me keeping score...
my "official capacity" at Robotics 8!!
I think I'll have to see about getting a rtlToronto shirt so I'll look like
an official next time...actually all the "judges" should be wearing them...
actually you know what would be cool is you have a picture of your favorite
theme on the front with the CN tower and a logo for rtlToronto....robotic
guys would have gears, train guys would have gears, Chris and Calum would have
"organizer" on their shirts....hmmmmm what do you think....what about the
shirts....has there been a lot of interest in rtlShirts?
I like my Lugnet shirt....so I'll have that for back-up....
