Speaking as an 'outsider', I don't see rtlToronto that way at all. I think if I
were to drop in unannounced and unexpected with a 'bot for one of your events,
I'd be welcomed with open arms and smiles and offers of Canadian beer. (No
thanks on the beer, btw...)
And, I'd promptly get my butt kicked, because you're all better bot builders and
programmers than I'll ever be! <grin>
Do what you enjoy, it's your club, they're your rules.
Now, a small suggestion: Have you seen the 'Cuboro' blocks built by Jon Palmer?
(http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=52351) My first thought when I saw them was
"I bet rtlToronto could turn these into a robot competition of some sort..."
(My second thought was "I gotta build me some of them!)
