Guide Disclaimer ==================================================================== ---------------------------1. Introduction-------------------------- ==================================================================== A food-service robot gone bad has developed a diabolical plan to take over the world using "racing energy" found only within the top racers of the world. To gather such a group of racers he has staged a fake tournament with a large cash prize…which he doesn't have... But he has the next best thing. The winner will receive 10,000 donuts, 10,000 cookies, 10,000 cheeseburgers, and to top it all off, a large cake. (Being a food service robot does have its perks.) This unbelievable prize has lured the wacky racers (strange people who race for food) to all come together for a crazy, adrenaline pumping race. (Most won't admit it, but it was the cake that convinced them to come.) ==================================================================== ---------------------------2.
