Crates were picked up Monday and should be on their way...call BAX Global at 317-856-1222 and ask for their domestic division to get a tracking number...they will call you when the bot gets closer to your town to give you an idea of delivery time...

thanks joe
see you guys at the florida regional right?

Here is albert doing his tricks. These videos were taken before he had the car horn. Also if anybody wants to build their own "Albert the road barrel" all you need is a road barrel, a 12 volt battery, a couple of sims, a control system of some sort, a turnsignal from an old car, and a car horn out of a 1993 Grand Marquis LS, and any other add ons you think necessary. and thats what you need to make ur own Road Barrel. if you have any questions or suggestions let me know

Quick search on SouthWest rings up $99 Flights on wednesday's and $176 on Sunday. I believe it was like $250-$300 when we flew out there. There are some low airline fairs out of vegas on spirit and southwest. Not sure how group rates are. I'm not saying but I'm just saying.

Ok, guys - I'm just going to ask this, no matter how silly it is.

I know I heard 'WALL•E' as one of the sound effects. What was it used for? It was awesome. :)

It was during qf1 m2 and starts around 1:50. They had no other audio being played during this time so I guess they played it becuase everyone knows Wall-E is awsome.

For more Albert the Road Barrel antics, check out this video we made. Some of our students were lucky to get away with our lives.
