So much for bowling pins… 
What do y’all think about the contest this year?
As usual, Dean and Woody threw in a couple of totally unexpected twists. Between the new
format and the new hardware it should be exciting this year! I’m disappointed to have to be
watching from the sidelines.

I love it. Especially the ‘three times the loser’s score’ thing. Time to wait for the manual . .

This game rocks. So much mayhem! So many balls! So much gracious professionalism! This game is dripping with it! And that whole Ramp and striped bar area are going to be ground zero.
Yes, i’d like 1 Robust robot, hold the mayo.

So many ways to approach this! I can’t wait for our reps to get back with the parts. Dean and Woodie have truly outdone themselves this time!!! Now I’m going to go boot up Mech. Desktop and brainstorm!!
