So John when you took this picture did you think your head would be shiner than the robot in 3 short years (I think you did that’s why you’re wearing the hat)
JVN: This robot is so good, we’re already figuring the odds of a world championship!
Eric: Hmm… That can’t be right… Hey, John, every time I try, I end up dividing by zero. That can’t be good, can it?
Paul Copioli (off-camera): How about adding wings, a beak, and a tail to the zero?
JVN: Dividing by CHICKEN? Might work.
Eric: (5 minutes later) Nope, still doesn’t. How about instead, we put a snout and four legs on it?
Paul: NOOOOOOOO!
JVN: YES!!
[npoe]You thought I couldn’t slip Paul Copioli into this, didn’t you?[/npoe]
John: Ha ha! You think that’s embarrassing? Just wait to see what I have in store for Copioli. It may take a few years, but he’s gonna get it. I just have to call Baker and get it arranged …
JVN: “So Eric, you built this robot all on your own? No help?”
Eric: “Yes I did.” angry Team 229 voices heard off camera
JVN: “What are they going on about.”
Eric: “They’re just jealous that I built this bot without their help.” Team 229 comes out, picks up Eric and places him unceremoniously in the dumpster
Suzy Q the pig squeals off camera, thinking “oooo, SHINY ROBOT!”
JVN: “Awww, what a cute little pig! Here, piggy piggy! Here, piggy piggy!”
Eric: “Ummm…if she’s such a cute little pig, why is she apparently preparing to charge the robot, and why are Paul and Aidan chasing her with a cage, leash, and a muzzle?”
JVN: face falls “Crap.” begins running in circles and flailing arms “CODE RED! CODE RED! OVEREXCITED PIG RAMMING ROBOT! CODE REDDDDDD! 229, WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU?!”
229 member (off-camera): “Hey, YOU’RE the one who wanted to paint the robot gold.”

And here we see the majestic JVN in his natural habitat, interacting with other members of the pack. His pride in his handiwork is well deserved, just take a look at that golden coat, what a beauty we have here…

How 'bout this beauty right here? Lifts tetras and drives like a charm! And it’s only got four thousand miles on it! How does $7,995 sound?

[Show on animal planet]
Today we are going robot hunting…
[Later]
It looks like we found something and isn’t it just beautiful
[/show on animal planet]
Eric: Are you sure this is going to make a difference???
JVN: Are you kidding me? Once Karthik sees the Canadian flag on there he won’t be able to resist! Of COURSE they’ll pick us for an alliance partner!
Offcamera: So why does John have that goofy look on his face?
Eric: Well, the controller didn’t have enough memory to track autonomous waypoints the way we wanted too, so we borrowed some from John. We call the system, ‘division of V-Neun’.
Offcamera: Wow, have there been any side effects?
Eric: A couple, now he’s useless in the pit and talks like a marketing major.
