Who spent their holiday on FIRST?

[Henry_Mareck]

How many teams worked today?
We worked from around 8 am to 3 pm, and got a bunch of stuff done, like most of the field, and a cool prototype.
Anyone else agree with me that the best way to spend a holiday is to work on the robot all day?

We definitely spent the entire day at work (9AM to 4 PM). Yay for us! We're driving and the award submissions are nearly done! Jeez... We're productive this year.... I think it's because of all that Chipotle...

[Lil' Lavery]

Our sub-system groups all met on their own at various locations today (or @ my house, seemed like a popular meeting location....). Each grouped worked different hours, most from sometime around noon-4ish.

[Nita]

My team was planning to, but ended up not doing it because someone had to open the school and some people weren't able to show up anyway. But we get the whole day tomorrow to work on it! :)
(after finals 4-day weekend)

[MikeJ675]

675 was working. 6-8 of us were in the shop at all times from 8:45am-2:30pm except when a few people ran off to get food/drinks

lots of progress on the electronics and pneumatics

[santosh]

We worked from 4:30 to 8 pm. I think we hav all design done and have started building a bit.

[wilshire]

yeah our school still had school. Purdue didn't have any classes though. Unfortunately my class doesn't meet on modays. But yeah we got alot done still. I have been CADing the robot since the beggining of the weekend. My mother came up to the room the other day to make sure if i was still alive. Alls seems well though with this rookie team so far. Ask me that qusetion again during 5th or 6th week and I might have a different answer. :)

[Stuart]

Some of our students got together today. We finished our Inventor sketches of the frame & stuff. And played pool and Halo 2. Yep.

[Kyle A]

Team 306 worked from 7 to about 2:30. We worked on hubs for our wheels, and on a ball shooter prototype.

[Daniel Morse]

Unfortunately, my team was not allowed to meet on Monday. I had to sit for 2 days trying to figure out what to do. Which is harder than it sounds.

[Taylor_Ratliff]

We planned on working today but the custodians ended up finishing their duties for the weekend yesterday so the school was locked. :mad:

[Schwartzman]

We worked from about 3pm to 8pm today building prototypes and getting the camera to work right.

[Damelvin]

Our team worked from 11 to about 6PM. We got all the sketches done and order all the parts we need and probably build friday and saturday this week. Got FINALS TO STUDY FOR!!! WED-FRI. We also got the camera totally caliberated and thats gtg. I am still working on animation after finishing storyboarding today. This years animation is going to be easy, but cool.

Not only did we work MLK Day (after the parade of course), but for the Texas Regionals in Houston, the competition is on my wedding anniversary! As last year, my wife has graciously agreed to attend the FIRST competition with me on our anniversary. I plan to make her a small green glowing target broach as an anniversary gift...
