Re: Scaling Club

3620 used our scaling mechanism during our last match at MSC. It was installed late Friday. We played our last two Saturday qualifying matches and our first two octofinals matches without using it. Came up just short in OF2-3 -- it would not have helped at that point since our scaling partner had already lost a drivetrain gearbox, and was stuck in the other courtyard.

Now that it is in the bag, we look forward to practicing with it at CMP. Good to have it, even though we might not use it often.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
