Same to you. :)
If the people on this list haven't realized the truth by now... well, I don't
know what to say. :)

Sorry, I was just going by what Calum said that you told him to say, when he
said "Next major contest is BrickFest 2003: Pipe Racers (August 2003)" :)

Now I see why you don't like sumo. Your programs are just as good as your
robots. :)

As much as I'd like to take credit for this site, which (in my opinion) is a
very nice site, I'm not at all responsible for any of the layout. The only
content I'm responsible for are some scattered "Robot Spotlight" pages and my
personal bio, which I wrote a couple years ago.

Ok, I must be serious for a second. You insulting the 24tooth web site is like
me insulting the rtlToronto site. I could say you are very slow at updating the
pages and there are too many pictures of Jeff VW, but that would be insulting to
other people who work hard for free on stuff we all benifit from. But I
degress.
I like both the 24tooth site and the rtlToronto site. But I have nothing to do
with either.
Ok, I'm done being serious.
:)
For the record, this is not really my group, either. Here's the web site for
"my" group:
http://users.nlci.com/imagination/mindstorm/
Feel free to critique. You should start with the "Dates to Remember" page. It
was updated only a year ago.

Maybe you should look again. :)
In the stair climb event, robots not only had to go up one step, like at the
rtlToronto "Last Bot Standing", but then re-group, and go up TWO MORE. My
calculations show that would be about three TIMES as hard as the Toronto event.
:)
And in their King of the Hill, the platform was not just a small six inches from
the table, but about three times that high, and robots had to traverse a
fourty-five degree incline to get there. :)
:)
> no wonder you drive all the way from Ann Arbor to Toronto. The games are better.
Actually, Ann Arbor is only 1/2 way from my house to Toronto. And Toronto is
worth the trip. Oops. Wait. That was something nice. I didn't mean it that
way... :)
> I'm not even going to talk about how the Hill game was our idea!
Actually, I thought of it when I was in second grade... :)

That's OK, I don't expect your robot to be very interesting, anyway. Let's see,
a 1x16 technic beam, with a rubber band to hold it to the pipe. Yes, that will
work... :)
