I am parsing Ken's sentences pretty closely.

It is clear that he INTENDS for us to think his robot
is going to balance on two wheels ala the I-bot.

But... I know two things: 1) This is a VERY difficult
task that I seriously doubt a computer with a 25msec
maximum sample rate can accomplish reliably. 2) Ken is
a very clever person that is not only a great engineer
but has a fine command of the language as well (he
didn't win the Woodie Flowers Award for whistling Dixie ;-)

I put these two facts together to believe that the
Huskie Brigade (our cross town rivals / friends) are up
to something sneaky, but not an I-bot like drive.

Rest assured, I will be in the pits checking them out.

Joe J.
