Sure you may have entered a 'bot in every single competition, but the
competitions I've been in (half of 'em), I have shown up with quality 'bots

I show up with a 'bot that does the job, as usual...

Or I show up with LOR, walking, and still have the "Wow!" factor.

LOR right now is sitting amongst a sea of pieces, with his feet being worked

competiton.  Friday is... :)
