Looks as though our crab drive cart idea was shot down tonight, although my brother is now working diligently to cut costs. Maybe we should instead redesign our cart and make it so that the cart itself powers upward instead of using a drill manually. It also needs a new paint job, really bad. It's been painted flames since 2003 when it was made and it's gotten scratched up. I say we chrome it out... drop some spinners (our logo machined) on the tires... and add some orange and blue cold cathodes to the bottom.
EDIT: How could I forget?! We're building yet another cardboard boat to compete at the Rock Island and Galesburg races. We've won three of four events we've been to and have gotten the Spirit award at all events. We also have two second place and one third place award. I hope maybe this year we will make a fun boat since we have a proven winner (speed record at both events). We've entertained a crabbing boat... yes, I said crabbing BOAT. I don't think it would be too hard. We certainly wouldn't win, but it would be SUPER FREAKY AWESOME!
Personally I'm starting, at least, two Vex Challenge teams, possibly more. I'm helping with a DARPA vehicle, and I'll be promoting FIRST throughout the Quad Cities and surrounding areas on a personal tour of schools, hopefully. The first date is sometime soon at United Township with James, an electrical engineer.

Come to the QC and I'll definitely help you with that Tytus. I know where all the "HICKS" live... SHERRARD*!
*Happens to be one of the schools that our team is made up of.
