oh wow i'm sorry.... floods are
not cool...
if i could change anything... i wish i hadn't spent so much time practing to be driver (which i didnt make btw...
) and instead spent more time designing and building the actual robot. There is a lot about robot building i dont know, and i regret really missing out on a wonderful opportunity to learn a lot.
but other than that, i am so pleased with how everything turned out. we got the chairman's award submission finished
early and we even had the luxury of sort of taking our time with it
(better than last year... we literally pieced together the whole thing in 7 hours at my house about 3 days before it was due... not cool), overall, the Website has improved exponentially, Roccobot 2k5 looks
awesome...
(sorry we still haven't posted a *finished* product... be patient, its coming soon, i promise! 
) and we just got a lot done!
I guess instead of focusing on the stuff we wish we could have changed,
we should focus on all of the wonderful stuff we accomplished instead! instead of saying "ugh, i wish this hadnt broken" or "why did the weather have to go funky like that and mess us up", why not say "wow! i cant believe that even though that really important part broke, we still managed to fix it!" or "dispite that horrible weather we've been having, we managed to actually
finish the robot in due time! and even if things look their gloomies and their worst, and everything went wrong, you can at least say, "hey, at least we tried, and we learned a lot from this experience!"
