I personally think it's obvious what's on his mind. He's plotting world domination, and it begins with Canada. He just saw part 1 of his plan go through, and he's holding back an evil cackle, or bwahahahaha, or what have you.

I concur with ^

What was 'Supplier Summit 2005"?

Just remember he was at the Battlebots event the day before and was hoping to see a robot explode or something and was thinking abotu how much cooler the game would've been with massive hammers in the corners to defend the goals there.

Re: pic: Andy comes to Canada.
 

nope he was in Canada before he was at battlebots

Andy,
Run to the light dude! Pretty soon you will be putting vinegar on your french fries and dying you hair. Come back...come back...come back....

OK, OK...

Mark Koors and I made a road trip this past weekend. Our main goal was to visit the BattleBots competition in Rochester to seek new customers for our AndyMark business. We demonstrated some products and made some great contacts. Also, we supported the Tetracide team as they competed.

Along the way, we stopped in at Toronto on Friday to see some friends and help setup for the Wonderland FIRST competition.

Along this trek, we discovered these things:

1. It's only an 8 hour drive from Kokomo to Toronto.
2. Crossing over to Canada and getting back is fairly easy, especially at the crossing points of Port Huron, MI and Niagra, Ont.-NY.
3. More teams need to attend the Wonderland off-season event. It is a great place to host a FIRST competition.
4. Hotel rates in Toronto are inexpensive.
5. Dinosaur BBQ in Rochester is excellent.
6. The X-Cats (team 191) have an awesome shop.
7. We have some new friends in the Rochester area.
8. FIRST is well-respected among Battlebots competitors.
9. Battlebots is an exciting, fun competition to watch.
10. A good spinner robot can do a massive amount of damage to its opposing robot.

As for the "FIRST Supplier Summit", it was a meeting among possible suppliers to FIRST which took place back in August. Essentially, it was a meeting where FIRST challenged, "what can you put in the Kit for free?"

Obviously, Andy is attempting not to laugh at Karthik's rediculous story about a cab ride ...

Re: pic: Andy comes to Canada.
 

What, you didn't know that? The reigning UK Robot Wars Champion is a spinner (named Typhoon)

Re: pic: Andy comes to Canada.
 

we were very scared of the spinners, just never knew how harsh they are. that's why i have an amazing idea for a middleweight spinner. :D :D

Re: pic: Andy comes to Canada.
 

Yup ... he's still smirking even though that story was told way back in April in the hotel bar in Atlanta ... (at least that was the first time I heard it) ... :D

Re: pic: Andy comes to Canada.
 

Sure sounds like a summit for FIRST suppliers or potential FIRST suppliers to get together and talk about and/or to support FIRST........

Re: pic: Andy comes to Canada.
 

Whoa now Al...since when has the addition of vinegar to french fries been Canadian?

And what is wrong with being Canadian anywho??
