I'll drink to that! This build period has been terribly exhausting, but I had a great time and helped build a machine that I'm really proud of (

Things I learned this year:
-It is possible for one person to drink 10 liters of caffeinated soda within 1.5 weeks.
-The hammer is more versatile than it appears.
-Safety goggles cast an invisible field of protection surrounding the wearer.
-The bandsaw conquers all.
-Snickers + Mountain Dew = the true breakfast of champions
-Batteries work better when charged.
-FIRST is not an acceptable excuse for a one-week delay in handing in an 8,000-word senior research paper.
