we totally over estimated the forces and heights and ended up with an arm that can stack the highest goal more than 10 tetras up....

we will be posting pictures soon (when the photographer=web developer and when it's the website crunch time, he's kind of busy).

I'd like to thank FIRST for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I've learned so much!

victors, spikes, programming, interrupts, pots, AWG wires, aluminum welding, force calculations, stability calculations, gear ratios, product design, 3d sketches, drilling, using jig saws, WEARING SAFETY GLASSES, vice grips, PVC glue, reading catalogs, understanding new terms, applied trigonometry and analytical geometry.... the list goes on!


GO FIRST!

Here I am, sitting at my computer, stubbornly refusing to go to bed even though my eyes keep trying to close on their own, wondering why I keep going to meeting after meeting, night after night, wondering if I'll survive this upcoming weekend or if I should just roll myself up into our practice carpet until spring, cringing when I think of the thousands of photos I have to go through, the multitude of buttons that have to be made and then along comes a post like this, which points out, ever so sweetly, why I give the first two months of the year to my team. Which is very good because the carpet thing wouldn't have worked anyhow, seeing as how they'll be using it tomorrow.

So thanks for the smile!
