I broke my own rules...

If my memory servers, this picture is from Friday morning, our second match of the day... here is the strory...

My head is in my hands because I broke my own rules! I downloaded totally new code to the robot without a thorough trial before running a match.

I tried it out on a 3 ft piece of carpet, but that is not a fair trial as I am in the process of learning (again!) as Darrell snaps his pictures.

I was disgusted with myself. Our robot could turn right but not left. I don't mean that it could SWERVE right but not left, I mean it could only TURN right. It was aweful.

SO...


...DON'T TEST YOUR CODE IN FRONT OF A SCREAMING CROWD!

P.S. As to Mt. Dew, sometimes we go without things we really ove if the reasons are sufficient. I choose not to make my reasons public right now but I obviously consider them sufficient. Thanks for leaving it at that. JJ
