[Yaaarc] New Robot Sumo site supporting Chelsea Vex Sumo contest

[George Albercook]

Hi All,

Something has come up that I need to attend to so I
will not be able to make it to the YAAARC meeting this
week. 

I was hoping that a few people could help Josh out. 

Erik I don't expect that you have the materials to
build another Y3MD. 

Does anyone have one that they can loan or sell to
Josh so he can get his Barbie car running?

Thanks,
George A.
