Check out the article about William Gurstelle's new book Building Bots in USA Today, and see a two minute video about the Grand Opening of the Robot Club in USA Today Television.

Our grand opening tournament was reported in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review on Dec. 9, 2002. To the left you can see Jacey as she drives El Furro! against Fuzzy's TadPole. To the right you can see a young fan light up when she sees the robot close up.

Our grand opening was not without controversy, as we were picketed by P.E.T.R, or "People for the Ethical Treatment of Robots". People in North Huntingdon aren't used to such odd displays of misguided compassion.

When our club was still in the planning stage, we were the cover story in the Pittsburgh Business Times, Man behind Lycos technology ready to turn hobby into business.
