People in Canada must be a lot more honest than here in the states. I couldn't see this bot lasting 6 weeks in the US before it ended up an acessory to some 20yo college dorm room.

As a Canadian I can reply - the whole thing is just too much fun. Kidnapping the poor bucket-of-bolts would just make the fun stop, that's why we keep the thing going :D

I agree. I think it is way cool, but you guys are more civilized than people in the US, IMO.

What can I say - Canada's big and there's not a lot of us up here. We're used to huddling around the fire in the wintertime and telling jokes, it's in our DNA.

:D
