Who spent their holiday on FIRST?
 

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?

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. :)

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.
