Right after I joined the RECF as CEO, I went to a VRC event and was challenged to drive against a student. I had never even picked up a joystick in my life. After a few rough moments, I figured it out but I was generally clueless. So the next week I build a Clawbot and drove it around the office. The next year I build a few VIQC robots too. I think one of them ended up in the finals in Freedom Hall
