This is a clean, new hotel.
Other choices: the closest "nice" hotel is the Radisson in Monroeville, PA, about 10 miles and
25 minutes away. There are many motels in Monroeville, PA and Greensburg PA, but again
these can be 25-30 minutes away, depending on traffic.
One of the exciting features of the Lazy Toad Robot Club is the chance to see famous fighting
robots from history. Our biggest acquisition so far is a pair of famous walking spinners:
Whyachi and Son of Whyachi.
Here we see Fuzzy using his newest toy (a Bobcat 763 mini-bulldozer) to unload the Whyachi's from
the truck. On the right, we see the crate sitting in the driveway awaiting a second, shorter trip
to the Robot Club.
If you're not dining, but which to sit in the bleachers and watch the action, there
is a ticket fee, which will be higher during major competitions.
Pit access requires a "competitors" membership, which can be purchased for a day,
a month, or a year. We're still working out the fee structure for various services
such as use of the safety test box, fights with other builders, and entrance to
events.
Entrance
The first thing to greet you as you enter the Lazy Toad Robot Club is the membership
counter. Entrance to the retail store and the restaurant are free, but we will require
everyone entering the club to accept the "spectator" waiver, and minors must have their
parent's permission to accept that waiver.
Retail
To the left once you're through the door, is the retail section, and a
"portable" 12' by 12' square robot arena.
