<SLAPS forehead> DOH!!! How silly of me! I
completely forgot about that!
However, it
was nice to have it running on the radio. That's a lot more interesting than a "wired" robot. It turned out their good power brick was on it's way to Texas with this year's robot for a conference, so the one I scrounged up after getting the specs from you guys sure saved the day! THANKS!
BTW, the demo went WELL. With about 2800 students passing by Team 66's robot display yesterday, we snagged a HUGE set of leads for the new team.

(Pioneer is MI's *largest* HS...) The school's new Robotics Class came down to see it. Team 66 even excused two drivers from classes to drive 20 miles to be at Pioneer at lunchtime to run the robot. It ran by the main cafeteria so most of the students had a chance to see it work. It made a BIG hit.
KUDOS GO TO GM/WILLOW RUN HS TEAM 66 FOR THE LOAN OF THEIR ROBOT AND PROVIDING DRIVERS!!!

They sure get MY vote for Chairman's Award this year! This is the *second* AA team they've come all the way out to bootstrap! Those guys are GREAT! They even sent out their "FIRST Champion" banner & some photo montage boards. What a team! Go Penguins!
Thanks again to everyone here for all of your help.
