In order to get mass appeal the promoters started modeling it on TV
wrestling, but they needed geeks and nerds to provide the robots and
they didn't fit in so it fizzled. After that I skipped over to 24 Hours
of LeMons (not to be confused with LeMans). That also turned too
commercial and stopped being fun. Right now I am between hobbies :)

Cheerful regards,

Bob
