Sometimes, it pays to enter these non-challenging events:

I don't know if it says, but the first place for the sumo was an RIS.

No non-LEGO sensors???

well, it sounds hard.

sounds hard.

hmm. Maybe I do.

I may need those parts for my block stacker. All 20 of them.

I doubt I'd go for the prizes...
But, when I spoke with my wife about the choice, she said, "I don't think they [Central Illinois Robotic Club] like you, because you build LEGO robots." I think she's right. So, I'd kind of like to go over there and kick their @$$ with a 6.6lb LEGO robot.
Then, I could ask if any of them have ever been on SlashDot...
I better go figure out how to stack blocks. It sounds hard.
