It almost seems like the contest went on hold during the Louisiana trip. Back into the grind now. Yes, I stopped my "let's try every three digit number possible" after about thirty entries. I didn't want to go too far before getting a reaction to what I was doing. Now I'm almost dreading that reaction. In the meantime somebody actually guessed one of them, and it was the year of the Wyvern massacre. So now I must try some other significant years for the other robot (which I noticed is a four digit number, not another three). So here goes:
