David,
It would be nice to meet you, and see your robots at Sumo-bot 6 (on Sept 18th).
It sounds like you don't have enough pieces to build them all at the same time
(along with anything else you may have built). I suggested to Jona that I could
build one, but he said he doesn't still have the directions.
From what I've seen, the "light and fast" robot fits the rules for the Stock
class (2 lbs or less, and uses only parts from a single RIS) I'm sure if your
robots showed up, and made a good showing at Sumo-bot 6, it would have to be
good for book sales...
What do you think?
Steve
