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 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.  |
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.
