Although he has purchased from us, and used our products (the "Secret Motor Driver") in his prize-winning minisumo "Stinger", we, as Solarbotics officially declare Mr. Hylands only "marginal" friend.
You see, Solarbotics sent a few of our robots to the University of Northern Idaho's mail-in minisumo contest, and again he's served our own tuckus back to us. Here we thought we were being clever in shipping our robots half a continent away to enter a contest where he shouldn't be, but noooooo, he still shows up and schools us.
Harumph! Well congratulations, Mr. Hylands, but don't expect that third steak at our next company BBQ....
