We've been driving around for a week now (Saturday, Feb 7th = first drive day). Then we took it all apart and started adding subsystems and extra electronics. Then we'll be super-driving tomorrow (Saturday the 14th). We should have a "major subsystem" (hmmm... what could it be?) added by the end of Saturday. Then our driver will do some heavy duty driving along with human players and programmer (me) to finish autonomous mode and get some real practice. 2 other subsystems will be done soon (hopefully). And that should be very soon as we'll be meeting everyday a whole week (mid-winter break) 9am to 9pm - hopefully (like last year).

The first time we let the robot loose, our main driver, Seth (he's been our only "driver" driver for 2 years - this is his third) cried when he saw the robot turn! It's the first year that our robot actually *turns* ~ j/k, I mean first time our robot turned with approx. 0 turn radius. I'm going to remember that forever - not the turning, but Seth - crying.
