Yeah, I'd definately have to give it a two thumbs up. Here at the
UR, there are only very few of us that actually play around and
build stuff, Its nice to know we aren't alone.
I liked it that everyone was willing to talk about and share their
plans and ideas (I came home with schematics from another entrant).
I got lots of new ideas to keep me busy to try out.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see many other competitions
while there, (only got to wander while batt'ries charged and
eproms blanked) as we were busy with last minute debugging on
our micromouse (I tell you, it works fine here in the States!)

We will definately be back next year, (by which time I'm sure
we'll get that turning thing working) likely with more entries
(and larger shopping carts).
