Thumbs up Balsa GP

In physics today we have been working on balsa wood bridges for a while and due to my connections through robotics I was able to get a little bit better tools. Not much just a balsa wood chopper and glue that actually worked. Another group came over and asked if they could use the balsa wood chopper and I went ahead and let them. My partner asked why I gave up the advantage we had over the 'enemy'. I simply told him that I did out of GP. He asked me what GP was and I told him. I gave him examples from robotics and he could hardly believe me. He may not understand such a concept, but it just makes me all the more thankful that so many of us understand it.

Thanks to all you who taught me GP, Jason.
