And so you should! Everyone without a robot should feel left out. So why not buy a brand new robot from RUR today? Check out http://rubika.no-ip.com/RUR/ for our full range of robots.

Sorry about the delays. The "Free Borealis" leetbot is proving to be very popular. Fancy that, a robot range that is actually making RUR money for once.

Where can we see the images that won (and maybe that of all other participants) ? Will you publish them on R.U.R.s website?

Yes the Winners will be posted.

Unfortunatly, I had them pasted up in the workshop so the judges could get a better look at them and one of our COSbots while testing kind of mistook a few of them. So I am having to tape some back together before the judging can be finished.

But not to worry! By the time our Annual Shareholder's meeting takes place the winners will be announced and posted!

I protest!

Just because i can only CODE a robot ( being a fixer) doesn't mean my "currently in the works" mail delivery deamon cannot be my friend.

Unfortunatly Juju, your complaint will be ignored because you protested after the dead line. Now, if you would have mentioned it during the contest, the contest holders could have looked at the current rules and possibly made an exception. Or you could have submited and saw what happened and protested afterwards.

Sorry

Juju, we could always have our own Fixer contest. A "Why my <some program> is my friend"..

Lets show those Engineers that hardware isn't the most important factor, software is! *giggles*

A Fixer contest on the line of "What I wear under my Gridarmour" would be... revealing.

Yeah but non smurfs would have a hard time participating...

Yeah, like me. I don't have grid armor.. *giggles*

Non-smurfy fixers would have to do "What I *would* wear under my grid armor, *if* I had it" contest.

The only appropriate prize for such a contest, of course, would be a grid armor nanocrystal.

Oh, and Juju's mail-forwarder IS intensely cool. I've already received rude messages messages through it!

The management disalows any knowledge of anything happening, because it IS completely anonymous. And still considered to be extremely alpha.
