With all the hectic fun of FRC build season, I can certainly understand if you haven't heard anything directly from Jim, but fear not; he has been writing code for the simulator this year (feel free to ask him why he either created or didn't already fix any bugs you find); and he has the Peachtree Regional in his sights.

So, "Yes", at Peachtree 5th Gear will be available for fun and for challenging other teams/mascots to contests in its vritual world.

PS: THANK YOU Circuit Runners for all of your help at the World Championships that were hosted in Atlanta. That will be a tough act to follow now that the Worlds will be in St Louis.
