As for Rob’s robots... they look like something my cat puked up (if I had a cat).

Well...at least I’ll have good memories...at worst my ‘bot will collapse on the playfield out of pure embarrassment :)

(Now I too will go under cover for the remainder of the week, so no-one will be able to laugh until Saturday...)

Rob, I know you’re relatively new to the rtl thing

Relatively meaning you weren’t there for the height of the ‘Hey Mister’...

Let me see if I can dig up some pictures of the “early daze”...

Chris’s sumo ‘bot in Guelph having a nervous breakdown--



Chris’s block stacking ‘bot--



From whence the expression was first uttered...

Chris’s second attempt at blockstacking ‘bot--



And Chris working on his second ‘bot



Which was the second time the phrase was uttered...

Ahhh... but then Chris started learning---ahhh gwasshoppahh, you wearn quickwy.... His block sorting ‘bots... good effort!



And this is the point in the story where Chris just blows the doors off everyone else (well, except for Rob S, but I consider Rob S to be the Gretzky of rtl--no one’ll come close to his stuff...)--Chris’s Project X ‘bot--



And I didn’t get any pics of Chris’s Connect 4 entry--Grr!! But again, completely mind-boggling stuff done by Mr. Magno.

As for me, here’s my second rtl ‘bot (leaving Guelph sumo out)--

Block stacking--



And here’s my ‘bot for this Saturday--



To me, pretty much the same--nothing new at all. 4 motor/wheel driving, and a platform that does what it needs to do. YOu look at most of my ‘bots, and they’re all pretty much the same. Chris has gotten to be a far better ‘bot builder since we started, and I’m doing ‘status quo...’

But that’s just me.
