Well, now this becomes really difficult to predict who next year's captain will be. Looks like the string of curious events is coming to an end.
As well, congratulations to all the teams that won awards, in particular team
1710 on yet another RCA. A well deserving team that us and any other team could hope to emulate.
As a side note, while people were at lunch, our team gladly accepted the 2013 Greater Kansas City machine shop award for "gratuitous use of the mobile machine shop." (Backstory: We showed up at the regional and discovered that our 10 point hanging arms were welded wrong. We then got parts here and there cut off and rewelded so that they work. After that, we discovered that in the new configuration, the arms would pivot the wrong way and not actually deploy. Another trip to the machine shop. Then, after fixing the pillow blocks, we discovered that the COTS pillow blocks simply wouldn't work. So we used the machine shop to make us some new custom pillow blocks. Final trip to the machine shop was to create a cross-arm bracing system. And those were just the trips to the machine shop that concerned our arm!)
