Re: 2012 Boston Regional

The Boston regional has always been a favorite of mine! The Cybergnomes hit the road at about 6am this morning. The only thing left to do on the machine mechanically may be some weight reduction because I know they're *on* the limit. Aluminum ATV rims are pretty heavy I know their code isn't the strongest. They lost all of their supporting teachers this year to another school including the only one who knew anything about programming. Since their programming mentor won't be with them, if anyone cares to drop by and check up on their progress for me tomorrow and maybe offer them a hand with setting up their auto-aiming and autonomous I would appreciate it immensely. Their two programmers are sharp guys but are pretty green when it comes to software and the team has always struggled with it.

Unfortunately I am not be able to head down with them as this year I also mentored 3756 RamFerno from London Ontario. Since their only event this year is the Waterloo regional running this weekend as well, I will be there with them.

Good luck to everyone!

I'll be watching the webcast on my phone every chance I get!
