Go to Post I'm really impressed with how much effort we'll go to, to avoid buying a $25 servo tester. - MrForbes [more]

I've finished covering the Championship, but I'm not done just yet...

Day Five: Back to Michigan

Since we didn't have to make it to the competition, we got to sleep in. I woke up and began packing. As I packed, I thought about the trip. It had been a lot of fun, even though we didn't end up winning it all. It was definitely worth it. When I finished packing, I went to get breakfast, which is where I learned that our team's leader had lied and had told us to get downstairs an hour early. Almost everyone had lost an hour of sleep because of that, and we weren't too happy. When the bus showed up, we loaded it with our bags and went off to Johnson Space Center.

I actually liked JSC much better than Six Flags. JSC was fun, Six Flags wasn't - or at least I didn't have much fun there. I took the tram tour of JSC, which was a lot of fun. We got to see the full-sized mockups of the shuttles and International Space Station components that the astronauts practice in, as well as the no-longer used Saturn V rocket. That was the majority of the tour, but it was still better than most of Six Flag's rides. I spent the rest of my time wandering around and visiting various exhibits. It was nice to see that there was a small exhibit dedicated to the Columbia and that NASA hadn't completely glossed it over. (On the other hand, I didn't see much dedicated to the Challenger.)

After we were done at JSC, we went to the airport and flew home. The flight went smoothly, but we lost one bag (which belonged to a mentor's four-year-old daughter). We drove back to the drop-off, and I got home at about 1:00 AM this morning. I slept through school this morning, but I had to go back in the afternoon. I guess that I needed to eventually, but I still would have rather been sleeping...

That's it for this topic. There won't be any more updates since the Houston trip is unfortunately done. Hope you all had fun in robotics this year - I know I did. Thanks for reading.
