Aloha All,
Ha, as for the media accuracy....I've had quite a few quotes attributed to me in the paper that had nothing to do with what I said. Most times, however, they usually make me sound more intelligent than I am so I'm not complaining????
Thanks for the idea nuttyman54...yes, I think we'll bring them to the regionals to display in the pits. We plan on attending the Silicon Valley and Hawaii regionals this year if anyone there wants to see them in person. Although I have to tell you with all the tools and parts that lay around our pit area it would be really easy to lose them. In fact, we almost left them at home when we flew to Japan and we actually left the one cubic cm robot at the hotel on the day of the competition. One student had to catch the train back to the hotel and made it back with 5 minutes to spare before he had to compete. Its really easy to misplace these little guys when you're use to 130 pound robots. BTW, we transported all three one inch robots in a little glass jar about the size of peanut butter jar in our carry-ons. It still feels funny pulling robots out of a jar....
