Well there are alot of stationary robots at Fingerlakes, ours included. The hybrid board was finally wired up to run on Friday- and there is only 1 'test' area to practice in- and you're given 5 minutes and back to the end of the line. You're not even allowed to 'queue' your name up unless you park your robot infront of the area. With matches every 20-40 minutes it's been impossible for us to get out and see just how tight our turns are.

And as you know, no untested code should ever go out on the floor- it's not safe.

So.... our robot is going to be left behind... but it'll just crawl forward and clear the first line... assuming we're not struck
