Ahhh yes, KK '03 - a great day to be the DJ at a competition that wasn't competing. I completely know how the guy today felt

So I was going to mention how huge of a disaster it was walking around for 5 hours with no competing, oh and by the way - it's ALL MY FAULT EVERYBODY, AND I'M SORRY. I walk through the door, and suddenly the field breaks down. It must be my magnetic personality.

But anyways, it turned out not to be such a big disaster after all. It gave the rookie teams some valuable time with some VERY experienced robot inspectors to improve their robot and make it work correctly, so by the time matches FINALLY got going around 6:30 PM, pretty much every robot was working the way it was supposed to. And it turns out that with a 10 min match time, we're only 8 matches behind. How do you like that? Tomorrow should be awesome though. Some of these rookies are outstanding.
