Do I "sense" a technical award coming your way?

Thanks John (and everyone else) for the kind & encouraging words. It was exciting to see the robot perform in competition (well, I actually came back home on Friday morning so I only saw it in practice) and hear what others had to say about it. The software/firmware students & engineers have been working on StangPS almost daily since mid-January and we're happy we finally saw it in action somewhere other than our practice field. All the hard work was certainly worth the results.
I don't know the full story about the judges & awards at GLR since I wasn't there, but the story I heard is that the judge who talked to our students didn't want to hear about our custom circuit or autonomous program because he was a mechanical engineer. Oh well, maybe we'll get an EE or CompE to talk to us next time. I just want our students to get the chance to describe to the judges the system we're all so proud of
