Well, Saturday was a fun time. I met some new people, and saw some really great

stacking mechanisms. Jeff VW's "super conveyor" was awesome. Too bad the
drivetrain of the robot didn't work. I'll bet it would have eaten a lot of
blocks. Rob A's mechanism was very neat to watch, and quite effective. Ed's
machine was really solid and reliable. I loved seeing Iain's duck assembler in
person, what a cool robot!

Ah...you are just to humble to state how excellent your robot
was....That's why I refer to you in conversation as "Smart Rob" as
opposed to myself...

The rounds were fun to watch, especially because we let people give the robots a
helping hand when they were stuck. My favourite memory from the rounds was when
Rob A's robot deployed a nice stack of 6 or so blocks, and then Andrew's robot
promptly knocked it over, ate the blocks, and then re-stacked them a couple
seconds later! I wish we had video footage of that.

Yeah.  That really sucked :)

Another favorite part for me was when Greg's (think it was his) robot
got knocked onto its side and then trounced into several pieces.
Sad....but funny, i you know what I mean...
