Robotics: 2 Days of victory...

So yeah, our robot sucks balls. Actually it doesn't. It can't do anything besides drive forward and backward. But somehow, thanks to FIRST's bad scoring system we are in third place.

Today was fun, as after matches we played "Smear the Queer" as a team. Joe actually shook off Mike once, but then went down hard the second time he tried it.

Our coding/electronics has had some problems(no autonomous/disfunctional speed copntroller), and our drive had traction problems. We had to scrap the shooter, as after weighing we were ten pounds overweight. So I swallowed my disappointment and pride, and helped mike make his replacement system. It worked fairly well, except that it scattered white foam everywhere whenever it got stuck, which was often.

Lyric of the Day:
"Come on, and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul"
-HIM: Wings of a Butterfly

Random Story of The Day:

Jeff brought his guitar to the competition so he could play in the stands. Elan got the great idea of setting out his guitar case and having himself sing the Blues. With signs saying "Requests accepted(if we know them)" and "Money Demanded", this group pulled in a little money and a couple buttons.
