Danny, you and Dustin are always welcome to hang out with MORT anytime:cool:

actuating the cylinder will sort of 'winch' the string, which will tighten the fingers over the ball into an iron, easily undone, grip.

That was a lot more concise than my explanation. I have to work on that, huh?

I know Billy already offered... but really, come hang out with the ÜberBots. We'd love to meet new people. After working with the same people for months, I think we could all use some new faces.

Learn to explain things noobs. I kid I kid. But yeah if I see you guys around the Finale I will be sure to hang out with you guys for a while. Will probably be me, dustin, and 316's robocoach(if she can hang out with us for this night). And we are easy going people. And Stogi, me and dustin will make sure to hang out with you this week. Just make sure to have my button, or else. ha.

Speaking of your Uber shirts....would it be possible to trade for one? I'd love to get my hands on one of those :D

Just send me a PM, and hopefully we'll work out the details.

George. I know you have wanted one of our shirts forever and I think Atlanta I might actually be able to get you one. I might be buying an extra one tommorow after school. Just because I want an extra one. So in the end the extra one could go to you.

I'll be bringing an extra MORT t-shirt new for this year Danny.:D

Anyone else wanna trade some shirts?

NOTE: MORT UNIFORMS WILL NOT BE TRADED. I HAVE HAD MANY PEOPLE ASK ME. The uniforms are pretty expensive and each student buys their own because they last all 4 years and are personalized. Sorry =/ We have yellow t-shirts this year though. Let me know with your interest and size and what you're willing to offer me;) I will also have just a few MORT bandanas (Rad Rad Robotank ones) from 2006 to trade as well. These things are now rare so you might wanna call dibs.

I bought a second 171 shirt this year for purpose of trading so let me know if you are interested. It's an XL.

Re: Archi-medes!
 
Well I don't know if I will be able to trade this years shirt yet. But I do have shirts from almost every year of competition. The orange shirts from our rookie year were the coolest. Its kinda old looking though but if you want it I would be more than willing to trade. If you don't wanna talk out here than PM me.

They're not on any of the division lists. I think that means that they didn't get in off of the waiting list.

Smurfgirl/Uberbots: Thanks for the Uberexplanation of your Ubermanipulators Uberfunctionality. (don't worry, I'm quite finished :] )

I'll definitely come over and check it out in person, but Smurfgirl I have to say that with the pictures that was an excellent explanation of a complex system. Thank you! :D

On the Finale subject, I'd be happy to hang around with you all. I'm sure our respective team members will all figure out quickly who they'd like to hang out with... as I'm sure you all will, I'm going to encourage our (idle) team members to be sociable and wander outside the pit area.

See you guys (maybe) Wednesday night!

One more day of school and then its on the plane for 14 hours! BTW, we are being filmed by an independent film company, Fleur De Lis films, for a documentary on the whole experience of FIRST. Its called "the superbowl of smarts". We are one of three teams they've been following this whole year. They've followed us home to interview the families and followed us in SVR with its controversial ending and in Honolulu. There's a chance that teams we partner with, and against, will end up in the final cut which they hope to release at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009. Its been an awesome privilege to have this past year documented by a professional crew. You can catch a preview of their video from last year at: http://www.fleurdelisfilms.com/html/Welcome.html
I can't wait to see the final cut! Archimedes teams will be part of the final story so be prepared! Aloha
