Where can you
* play football on a hardwood floor
* be guaranteed no broken bones or concussions
* have no restrictive NCAA or OAC rulebooks to follow, any infractions of which will send you directly to Hell? (But there are rules.)

The place: ONU’s King-Horn Gym. The time: Each April for the past four years. The event: Robot Football. (We’ll tell you who won late in the story, not the hometown team.)
