Okay, so, I have no life and I've been spending too much time on ther computer... here is what I have found (Probably irrelevant... but I like to research):
On December 21 in 1968 NASA sent Apollo 8 to the moon (First manned spacecraft to orbit the moon). According to the 2000 census there were 1,968 people living in the town where "Little Eva" grew up and is now buried. Not sure if there is a connection there... but seems kind of odd that those two numbers line up... especially with E.V.A standing for Extra Vehicular Activity, one of NASA's terms. EDIT: Today was also the winter solstice!
A man named Bill Lange who was a baseball player was nicknamed "Little Eva". He wasn't really good... but he played Baseball, which could possibly be a field element?
In Bill's Blog he mentioned someone bruising their ankle... I think this may mean that the bumper height has changed, but I don't do much mechanical stuff.
"Little Eva"'s full name is Eva Narcissus Boyd. Narcissus is a guy from Greek mythology who fell in love with his reflection. Maybe this has something to do with mirrors of some sort? The image is reflected and according to tiny eye does not exist anywhere in that orientation.
"Little Eva" was the singer of the song "Locomotion". Robot Locomotion is getting over some sort of rough terrain... bumps anyone? On Wikipedia (although I dislike the site very much) It says "However, coordinating a large number of robot joints for even simple matters, like negotiating stairs, is difficult." on the robot locomotion page. Maybe we're dealing with stairs, or actually carrying things.
I tried to find information about tennis balls or penn or four inches... and nothing really seems to be connecting the way I would like it to. So, nothing with that to report so far.
For now, this is all I have in a coherent fashion so that everyone can understand the way my brain is going. I know this is a lot... and some parts kind of repeating, but I am having way too much fun with this. (:
18 Days until we find out the truth!
