So what did everyone get for christmas this year? Did you get anything robotics related like a box of sprockets and roller chain from your parents , or maybe a VEX kit?

None of mine are yet...I did get a Gerber last year, that could count.

[Katie Reynolds]

I bought my brother a Leatherman Juice S2.

I bought a speed controller and reciever with x-mas money.(non first bots- for "Rapid Assault" on the site linked in my sig)

[Billfred]

Well, I got a couple of things that might be handy...

1) Money. (Getting to Florida and/or the Championship isn't particularly cheap, you know.)
2) More RAM and a cable lock for my iBook, which might get handy for some other things.
3) A ColdHeat soldering iron and wire stripper. (Which was a total surprise, but might be handy come build.)

Teddles got a VEX kit and decided it would be funny to wrap gift cards for my mother and I in old hard drives.

(haha, I got to post it before you did )

FIRST hoodie, FIRST pen, FIRST saftely glasses holder. And a few things for my laptop. (Which I use for FIRST programming. )

I got a real nice multimeter, PC interface with a single channel o-scope and everything

I got a digital camera (Nikon 4600) that I can use at competition to take photos and record video. Still working on getting an iPod though, my birthday is in March though, so there is hope to have one for Atlanta.

New multimeter, digital calipers, a wifi PCMCIA card for my laptop, a really nice soldering iron and... a cat. I know, that last one doesn't really fit the rest of the list, but oh well, good stuff all.

My dad works at First Americam Title Insurance(national corporation or something) and at the christmas party they gave out a 512 mb Ipod shuffle to all their employees

I recieved a Chicken Chucker from a cousin (I spent most of today figuring out how to launch the chicken to the advertised 15 feet consistently). I also recieved Macromedia Studio 8 Academic Version (website award here we come!).

$65 (65! Haa Haa! I thought that was pretty cool!) in Radio Shack Gift Cards from my relatives. Guess what I'm gonna buy with them!!!
Hint: they have to do with a thing that starts with a V.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!
