Well, I dunno if the Gael Force and R2 will be in the same event at any point this summer, but I will say this...

I may very well be a "free agent" at a certain event comming up in June. My strategy and/or coaching abilities may be available to any team who might be daring enough to make me the correct offer for my services

Granted, I think I may have missed a couple in 1999 and 2000, but it appears the midwest has the edge. Hey Andy, thanks for getting the ball rolling on the trash-talking thing.
And how convenient that you "forgot" about the other 2 year 2000 champions, Team 255 and 232, both from California. I keep telling people, we are due to have a west coast champion sooner or later, you guys just watch out. Soon as the divisions work out the way they should ;-).

Ahhh but you are forgetting Mr. Baker....collectively, John and I know more about you and your robots, than you know about you and your robots! I seem to remember last time 45 crossed the path of a team I was on...they ended up missing a tread after the match

(And the rivalry heats up!)

Ohh no, I'm soooooooo scared!

Cmon Baker, pick your alliance. Don't limit yourself... pick from anywhere in the Midwest...

Better yet, make it a mentors grudge match. Grady drives his robot, Joel drives our robot. I'll coach.

Are you ready for a full season of pent up "Joel-can't-drive-aggresion"? The man is an artist with a joystick... Are you ready for that?
I don't think so.

And if you think Joel will be agressive after not driving for one year, imagine how crazy im gonna go not having driven for 6 years!!! One thing is for sure...you older midwest engineers have NO chance of outdriving Joel and I, two people who were once masters of the FIRST joysticks!

Just bring it!

John,

I'm always up for a challenge. Bring your robot up to Wonderland and we can try this out.

Silly Canadian,
How about YOU come to US!

(Actually, I'm not gonna be anywhere near my robot this summer... Whatever off-seasons 229 ends up at, isn't my decision at all, it's all up to the kids... maybe they WILL come to Canadia. *shrug*)

I think I've spent more time in the States over the past month and a half than I have in Canada. Canadian teams are always travelling down south. This summer I invite all the American teams who've never come up north, (or haven't since 2002, hint hint 229) for the Wonderland challenge. You might just like up here.

Why wouldn't you guys come, you wouldn't be scared of some little Canadian robots, would ya?

Trash talking across borders. Yee-haw.

We had too much trouble with spending money.

The HS kids get in the mentality of: "It's not REAL money, it's Canadian money... it looks like it came out of a Monopoly game!"

Plus there is the whole drinking age thing, just leads to trouble.


We already won you a gold, what more do you want from us??

I don't know about you, but I always end up with all the money at the end of my monopoly games.

Are you sure you'll be able to compete at an event without us? I mean, when something goes wrong with your robot, who's going to fix it?

Funny you say NORTH Karthik considering that the Toronto area is actually south of Potsdam. May we will venture back over the border someday to win one with you guys on your home turf. (or beat you, either way it doesn’t matter much to us )
We will see what we can do about getting over there, sometimes border crossing is a little tight "We have this robot, and all these electronics...oh, and a bunch of batteries to power it with, please let us cross" usually doesn't go over to well.

My heavens, look at the trash talking from these two has-been-drivers. It's pretty sad, really. Sad to see these two guys cling to their former glory, much like an old, washed up jock who likes to tell tall tales. Worse yet, that uppity V-Neun is dragging a fine young man, Joel Johnson, into this helplessness.

The only way that this "match-up" could ever happen is if 126 and 229 would bring their robots to Indiana for the July 9-10th IRI. Many good midwest teams will be there, and you could even pick our partner for us.

As for driving, I am terrible. The last time I drove, I put a hole in our alliance station wall (2001) after going airborne off the ramp. Needless to say, I will let our students drive. They are much better at it than I and I don't have any has-been dreams that I need to prove.

So, I'm up for the challenge... bring it on. But, you gotta bring it to Indy.

Andy B.
