XM7 must have been a genius of a lifeform. Because it managed to chase us around the field for a good minute and a half, before it finally caught us. We bobbed, we weaved, but eventually power beat finesse in that match up. Anyway, I don't know if Paco could have made that robot leap on his own. I've got some pictures of Paco's personal leaping ability from the Team Party in Atlanta. They're not pretty...

Ian: "I won't put them down. There mine...all mine!! My precious."

Karthik: "Ok, you can take them home and sleep with them tonight...but this is the last time!!!"

Ian: "Ok"

Tyler: "Can I stop putting holes in our robot's arm now"

Karthik: "NO!"

Ahh...what a great season.
Derek, I think you've got most of that night right, except I'm pretty sure you and I broke out into pretty spectacular rendition of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again". Now that's the real highlight. I mean, could anybody's life be complete without hearing my angelic voice?
