Razer,
I'm not sure what your team's plans are for next weekend, but my team (319) is holding an offseason event on Saturday.

We're going to have a couple teams with the new control system up there.
We are also going to have a basic bot set up explicitly for rookie teams to compete with. It would probably be a great hands on experience working with it through the event.
Also, are you a student or mentor? I work in Framingham, and live in Allston so Wayland isn't too far out of my way home. If you guys are looking for a hand I'd be happy to help out. I may have to get my CORI certification updated (I mentored the Hopkinton Lego League team a couple years back, but it may have expired since).
Cheers,
Mike
