I'm sure somewhere, Chris has a logbook with notes like this: :)
-------------------
March 16, 2003
I just got home from rtl13. WOW. Some of the robots there were SO impressive.
After seeing the the incredable robots by John G and Steve H, not to mention the
simple robots by Jeff and Derek, and so many others, I know I'll never be able
to build robots that good.
I need to start planning my next failure, right now. My only hope is to create
an elaborate web of lies that depict me building a very successful robot, and at
the last minute come up with a complex reason for failure.
I know this will be hard, but it has to be easier than building a good robot.
-------------------
March 17, 2003
I just posted a message with info about the next event.
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=6723
I also came up with a possible loophole to get me out of this event. It still
needs work, but I don't have a clue about how to build a robot to pull blocks
out of rice.
-------------------
July 7, 2003
I haven't worked on my plan for a couple months. Time to get back to work. I
came up with an idea for getting Steve H out of the event...

I hope this works. I know Steve H has other plans on Sept 13. He told me he's
going to a big LEGO sumo event in Michigan. I really wish I could go there,
instead of this darn rice game, which is way over my head.
Now, if I can just get rid of John G and David K, I may not look so bad when I
fail.
-----------------
July 22, 2003
Steve H is starting to talk about the rtl event at Brickfest. I know he's
right. It really is an rtl event, but I've got to find a way out. I'm so mad
at him.

I'll just avoid the issue. That should get me off the hook.
------------------
July 23, 2003
It didn't work. Well, I'm not going to play his little game.
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=8199
Man, I really wish I could enter that sumo event on Sept 20th.
------------------
July 30, 2003
I've been working on my plan. I haven't slept in days. I need to post
something, and make it sound like I'm sick for some other reason...

August 1, 2003
Kate's been gone for a couple days. Still no progress on my plan to get out of
building a robot, but I need to start talking trash, and put up a good front.

------------------
August 19, 2003
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=8540
I set my plan in motion. First, I'm going to make them think I'm not building a
robot (as usual).
-----------------
August 25, 2003
Oh my god, this is GREAT news.
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=8740
Now, David won't see my failed attempt at a robot. Iain already said he won't
be there. Now, I just need to work on Bruce, John, Derek, Calum,... oh, this
is going to be hard.

There I FINALLY said it. "Steve's WAY smarter than me." I feel better, now.
-----------------
August 30, 2003
Here's where I ask a couple questions, to make it sound like I'm doing
something.

New Motto "One brick more than Bruce"
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=8934
I really hope he doesn't get any bricks. Then, I'll just fall one brick short
of my goal.
-----------------
Sept 1, 2003
V. may have something here.
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=8951
Can I convince everyone that the shelf-life of my RCX has expired? I need to
ask him for some building advice. He sounds like he knows what he's talking
about.
----------------
Sept 3, 2003
Ok, now I have to hit them hard with the real lies.
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=8981

Sept 6, 2003
And some more

lies:

----------------
Sept 7, 2003
Ok, this is where the plan takes a twist.
http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=9015
I need to make them think I've run into some mysterious problem which will cause
all my work to be invalid.
I hope they forgot what I told them in the first place:
