Bomb Squad Calls 911

Build Season is so exciting. We were setting up our "game court" today; it takes up almost our entire shop, so we temporarily moved some stuff out in the alleyway to make room and rearrange. When one of the mentors noticed some of the skater kids in the parking lot playing with what looked like pool noodles, I had a bad feeling about our 2006 robot we had set outside.

Sure enough, the robot was gone! After a frantic search of the area and some Jack Bauer-style questioning of the skaters, no robot. I called 911 and announced that the Bomb Squad had a robot stolen - well, that got their attention. By the time the officer got here, one of the skaters remembered seeing "Albert" on a moped with what could only be our robot.

A sweet 3-wheel articulated crab drive 17 fps robot base on the back of a moped and WE DON'T HAVE A PICTURE!!! That is the real crime.

Apparently Albert was collecting trash for recycling...one man's treasure is another man's trash. We are hoping to get the robot back...
