So are we. We've beat up our practice bot a bit and it seems to still work most of the time. We're still developing a lot of stuff though so we're cautiously optimistic. We're also a little worried about this new low bar situation. Our robot is built to be an 1in under the bar but I've seen reports of the bar being under that at some of the week 1 regionals. We're helping to setup the field tomorrow night so hopefully we can get it closer to the right spec.

It's going to be a very interesting regional. Only two days left. I'm going to get scrap metal from Trident Metals tomorrow for the machine shop and I'm dropping off our pyramid tomorrow afternoon for the shooting practice field.

See everyone Thursday.
