It is illegal to put sand paper around the wheels, but it IS legal to wrap the entire outside of your robot with sand paper and rub up against other people's robot and sand them until they are all polished and pretty. You just have to build your robot high and able to come down from on top of other robots and rub down against them that way.

I say, call Tom again and have him ship you the truckload of sandpaper again, and have him ship you the finest sand paper there is in the world.

Looks like we are getting a free robot wash from the Technokats this year!!! Let me send an e-mail to WRRF teams and we are all going to sign up for wait list at the regionals the Technokats are going to!

Talk about building a robot everybody like!
