Re: pic: IRI Prank #1

As one of the creators of Albert the robotic safety barrel i would like to apologize to anybody that was offended by him at IRI. It was not the not our intention to annoy anybody. It was just a little summer project that a couple of us from team 1024 decided to build. I was not able to be there all the time while albert was being driven around, so I was unaware of the problems he created and nerves that he tested until i read about it here on CD. I completely understand how his being in the commons and in the hallway to the fieldhouse would be distracting and problematic. I hope that i dont have to remove albert completely from FIRST events but tweaking the horn and how and where he is driven will certainly be taken into consideration for any future events. Sorry again for any problems he caused over the IRI weekend.

Ben
