At Peachtree 2011, I told Sean's team that our robot was wrapped in racing tape*, which added ten horsepower. They picked us.

*Yes, Racing tape. That was what it was sold as--we picked it because it was close to garnet and we didn't have a chance to paint before ship.

That said, there IS always a risk with new products; almost every launch of a new car comes with at least some service bulletins, software launches are usually followed a week or two later with a .1 update, and so on. But if anyone's going to hit at least a double on the first at-bat, it's the IFI crew.

Oh man, I should've told him our robot was powered off unobtanium. Man, can't believe we missed that trophy by that much.
