Re: Three more sleeps!

I am about 390 more "Sleeps", and it's driving me buggy!!
My team will be attending the Davis Regional, but I will be in Hawaii on vacation with my family. (I know, Boo Hoo, poor me )

What is driving me nuts is that we never fully got our killer Autonomous running. We believe we found out why, but can not prove it until Thursday at the Regional. Being that I lead the programming team, I feel responsible to have it working, but I will not be there. Fortunately, on of our newest Mentors worked with me extensively the last week and knows the code pretty well. I can only hope and pray that he will be able to cover for me, and I trust he can.
The bottom line is, even without Autonomous, our robot works really well and we already consider this a successful season. (Compare it to last year, our Rookie year, and you will see why.)
