I don't want to step on toes though... Off topic question: How hard is it for an American to come over to volunteer in Canada? I do have a passport but I've always heard customs can be a bit of an, ahem, pain in the rear to deal with. It wasn't bad last time but I've heard horror stories from my boss.

Larry,
It depends on who the customs agent is you get that day. Just like anything else that has customer service affiliated with it. I went to Montreal last year for their regional, and customs was a breeze. It's easier when you're going for non-business purposes, and are straight forward with the agents. Simply explain that you're going to volunteer at a robotics competition and, if the event is close enough to the border crossing, I suggest you offer them an invitation to come check it out.
