Not sure what to say?

Sorry for the loss. I never had the opportunity to meet Bob, but thanks to his contributions to microd racing, my family and I have many wonderful years of memories and new friendships which we will be able to cherish. For that we are truly grateful. Thanks Bob!!

Sorry for the loss of a good man. We did not know Bob, but we are greatfull for what he did for racing.

Many thanks to Bob and his devotion to the sport of Microd racing. What started over fifty years ago as a hobby for him developed into a widely accepted sport that brought thousands of parents and their chilren closer together in the spirit of competition and sportsmanship. Thank you Bob and God bless you.

I didn't get to know bob, but from all I heard about him I hear he was a very nice man with a eye to the future. This is why I am the president of Syracuse club today just so I can get involved with the kids and do something good for them.

I met Bob when my Dad and I went to his home to see our first Microd in the mid 50's.We were national champions in 1957.As we get our car ready for Speedweeks 2007 I want to thank Bob and my Dad for introducing me to a sport I have enjoyed for a life time.God speed my friend and thank you.

In 2000 my family was introduced to microding and it was a
major part of our lives thru to 2006. It has provided some of
the fondest memories over the years. It truly is a "family"
sport, the bond that I was able to make with my son, and the
bond that was re-discovered with my father centered around
microding, working on and building our cars, racing the cars
and meeting new friends. Thank you, from our family to
yours, Mr. Robinson has changed our lives.

I just wanted to say thanks to Bob for everything he has done to make the sport of microding what it is today. Without a man with the inspiration to create a sport devoted to the kids and bringing families together, i am not sure where i myself and my racing career would be today. Thank you for all you have done for microds bob and my regards go out to the Robinson Family.

Perhaps the greatest legacy a man can leave behind is the influence on generations to come. With the foundation of microding Bob has influenced 1000's of people he had never met and will continue to do so into the future. For the past few years microding has allowed our family to grow together sharing time and work to hopefully make things better for those who follow. It has been a great experience for our family and has allowed us to meet some wonderful people along the way. I hope we all...

Thank you. Microding was how I got started, and was some of the best times I've had racing. Thanks again, and my sympathies go out to the entire Robinson family.
