It's a super-silly-sick-secret transmission.. Shhhh...
Anywho, thankfully the weather was very nice yesterday for this bottle drive, unlike the last one we had where it poured out.
We had visitors from CT of course, and a FIRSTer some of you may know by the name of Andy Grady from NH visiting us as well yesterday which was a nice surprise...
edit: <Side Note - N.E.R.D.s is still under development and will be definitely coming soon - I can confirm that.

We did not have the robot out for show and tell which some of the team disagreed on, but most of the time people were just dropping off there can's and leaving - not really interfacing that much with us.
It was a good turnout, and I hope we have at least one more by the end of the summer on another good day.
Maybe if we do have another one, we can have the robot there and interface with the populous a little more and gain some contacts. Who knows.
The one good thing as well, is that there is a Radioshack right across the street so when we had a lull in bottle collections a few of us went over there and checked out the new flyer for the upcoming vex parts.
20 bucks for a tank tread kit was the thing that caught my eye. - Even though I don't have a VEX kit yet, It's a possibility in the future - definitely.
I'll have to scan in the flyer I got and put it up here on CD, and hope Vex's lawyers don't yell at me for distributing via electronic means a free flyer.
