So, I have to say, this is a bit of shameless self-promotion, since I wrote the article, but here it is if you're interested:
FIRST Robotics Competition's 2011 Season is Worth a Look
Anyway, many thanks to the wonderful volunteers at the Sacramento regional who were helpful and tolerant of my presence. Special thanks to Alex Bittle from 692, David Rappaport from 1678, Julian Binder from 852, Connor Reiss and John Luckenbach from Team 100 for letting me drag them away from the pits for a few minutes to talk. I had a fantastic time watching Logomotion in action.
Best of luck to those teams still competing in the coming weeks!

Pneumatics in a nutshell: Put together an elaborate series of pipes, canisters, cylinders, valves and hoses; then fill that system with highly pressurized air, and hope that it doesn't blow up in your face.
