Hi Derek,
I'd love to compete in this competition. I have task relevant knowlegde with
respect to bipeds. I cannot travel to the *next* North American quadrantLEGO
get together, nor the ability to travel to Toronto for the next competion. Doug
Carlson and I talked about pneumatic bipedal Sumo wrestlers (as well as other
techniques to *try* to beat Steve H. :^) on our trip back to Minnesota. Bipedal
maze traversal also came up.
I must say I was at first intimadate by you and Jeff watching us *all* unpack in
the large conference room at BrickFest, It didn't take long before you and
Jeff's positive feedback helped me feel much more comfortable. You and he are
so drhy that it just took me a while to get my bearings. I can tell that an RTL
as well as Irvine visit (that is saying a *lot*) are something I look forward
to.
