I wished they had used the take where it was myself, Dean, and the actor (yes, let it be known that the kid in the red was not on our team, he was paid to be there) were all around our robot and singing...because our 1058 was right there in the front view. And for some reason, I don't know why it didn't occur to us to go grab our bumpers from our other robot that was there and put them on overdrive because that would have had the number right on the side of it in view. Oh well.

OH! That's who that was. I thought it was the kid from Twilight (i've never seen it, hopefully never will), but that is who it reminded me of.:rolleyes: An actor? WOW that is a new one. ;)

On a related note, I highly suggest Lionheart by Jesse Martin, who completed his solo circumnavigation at a 18 years and 1.5 months. Fascinating stuff...

I've heard about that one. If you have time, read the blog of the guy I linked to--especially the comments. There are a bunch of similar tales out there. You really want to have a LOT of free time when you do, though. (Also note: three guys were going around the world solo and met up at some point. One is the oldest. The other two were racing for youngest. All have blogs.)
