State

The state Lego robotics tournament was last week! We placed 3rd in presentation, while our sister team, the Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies, took first overall. Here are some pictures from competition. I will upload some video of our robot and our award-winning presentation later. ; )

Competition

Well, my computer is working again. It's a good thing, too, because State is on Saturday. Ironically enough, Ryan will be coming into the pits with us as our mentor. Jevon and I just made the mission work, so we're all set!

Computer trouble (yes, on my Mac)

I am not writing this on my computer. My computer charger doesn't work right so I'm writing this from my parents computer. What must have happened is that at the Um... sleepover last week (from which, Jevon and David, I did not get any "sleepover letdown" at all, thank you very much), someone must have accidentally hit my charger or tripped on the cord, which damaged the tip, breaking off part of it in the plug-in spot—a $150 repair job. Before you start laughing, Peter, think about this: On what do we show the presentation "we" made? On what do I write and rewrite the script? It's not that funny.
