2815's been working all three nights to improve our claw and get our minibot launcher (and new minibot) assembled. We're not quite there on the latter, but confident we can make it happen tomorrow to keep our post-Peachtree momentum.

That meeting wrapped at 10:00. Our bus loads up at 5:30. If I'm drowsy tomorrow, you'll have to forgive me. :)

I got word that MORT members started arriving sometime around 7pm and most will get there by 3 or 4am!:eek:

Can anyone confirm that the NASA site will have the webcast up?

Re: 2011 Palmetto Reigional *New Location*
 

No link on the NASA page right now. Will there be one tomorrow?

Re: 2011 Palmetto Reigional *New Location*
 

There is one up now, but the sound only has the game sounds playing.

Re: 2011 Palmetto Reigional *New Location*
 

I just tried the link on the nasa site and got nothing.

Best of luck Team 11! :)

I really look forward to see everyone's machine. Things seem to be working well for us so far. We are really crossing our fingers that it continues.

Purple Haze and Exploding Bacon going back and forth with their cheers was hilarious on the first day. I hope to see more.

We look forward to seeing everyone's machine in competition. Hope things are working properly.

I must say, after walking the pits today, this year has to have some of the steepest competition I think I have seen at Palmetto in a long time. Too many top notch teams for me to fairly mention. Friday should be fun.

*side note* I had fun today (with the help of Billfred) teaching the freshmen on 1319 and 342 what happens when you say "oink oink" to a 1902 member:p .

I'm surprised nobody made note of this yet hanging in the arena. :)

Re: 2011 Palmetto Reigional *New Location*
 

Or the inflatable version thats floating around the arena...

GO MORT

Did you mean to a 1902 member??

Oink Oink...

Re: 2011 Palmetto Reigional *New Location*
 

BOOM!

:D

Go MORT!

Between exploding pork and dinosaurs on rocketships, the Palmetto Regional sounds like a real party regional.

Having fun so far! After replacing every single electrical control component (literally everything) we finally solved the mystery behind the left side of our drive not working and are ready to go for the morning.

Anyone have scouting data they would be willing to share? We are placed a lot higher than we were expecting with the drive train issues and had not spent much time scouting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
