Re: The Regional Wars
 
It is easy to trash talk when you know you won't show up. Here in Canada we have a better deal for you than you have for us. Our food is cheaper, our hotels are cheaper and our dollar is worth less. What do you have to lose except your dignity? We Canadians are great hosts but we won't give you a match. I think that with Karthiks approval, Team 188 and Team 1114 will challenge ANY 2 American teams that dare cross our borders. Let us see if you dare. Canadian teams have always come to the US teams, now it's your turn to step up. :p

Andy B.

Problem is, I wouldn't be holding onto my former glory if you midwesterners would stop ducking me! ;)

As for IRI...well, it all depends on my situation, but maybe if I am able to make it, I can adopt a team for a weekend and show you how it is really done :D

Eric,

Getting across the border with a robot really isn't that hard. As long as you let them know it's for exhibition purposes only, there usually isn't much trouble. We drove our second robot to three events in America this year, and had no problems.

I'll second Steve's comment. Team 188 and 1114 are issuing an open challenge to anyone who wants to try us. The power of 188 and the grace 1114. I'd like to see anyone match that. Oh yeah, if we need a small ball team, we've always got 1241. =)

Andy,

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's broken a wall. This year I knocked out a plywood board or two when I tried strafing around the field. Don't worry, my true talents are in my shooting ability. I'll take all challengers in a shoot out. This kid is baller and a shot caller.

So Clarkson is a possibility... Who else is in? Mr. Baker, I'm looking in your direction. You know you want to come.

Canada's Wonderland, June 5-6. Be there.

karthik--- you don't konw how bad I want to go to Winter Wonderland... I think that it is possible for TJ to be there... I have been practically begging Mrs. Calef and I think she likes the idea... Especially since it is cheaper than some competitions... The problem for us would be the bus situation... hmmm I don't know... I'm praying TJ can go up there and take over Canada!!! hahahaha :P

Instead of Kickin your a** with full-up Indiana teams (pick two, any two),

we probably have several Lego teams that would make it a more fair fight.

Think you can you handle the 6th graders, JVN?

Yeah, I agree with Chris. I have a hard time thinking of a team in Indiana that is bad. My team didn't go to Nationals, (I mean the Championship for you Canadians) but I think that us and any other Indiana team could take you!

Hey, some of those little Lego bots are tough! Especially considering that 100% of them have an autonomous mode! ;)

Probably not Chris.
I'm certainly more scared of your 6th graders than of your "pros".
Those kids still know how to play.
