yay for ramp riot~

i had a lot of fun at ramp riot, though i felt *entirely useless*. i felt really bad about that, too, but it seemed like no one needed helping. i need to get more involved.

heh, today instead of floppy disks, my mom said "ramp riots". it seems to occupy everyone's minds...

yeah, when 222 was pushing it, I saw the smoke, and I had to blink a couple of times. I have never seen that happen before, meaning a robot start smoking during a match, and when I said it no one believed me until after the match and you could smell it.
RR so for is the most memorable competitions I've been to: twisting of the moe arm, and smoking robot - whoa.

It wasn't really too hard. I found an old jacket in a thrift shop for $3 then bought 2 rolls of duct tape for $4...the cheap K-Mart Tartran stuff seems to work good because it's light and not too stiff. I started by taping the coat to my wall to get a flat surface for the back. I then cut long strips of tape and stuck them to the coat. When I finished the back, I took it off the wall and spread it out on the floor and started with the front. I basically just did everything that was flat and straight on the coat. Then I went to the sides which were awkward due to the collar and sleeve. After that, I went to the arm which was definitly the hardest part of the entire process. It took a bit of work to get them all on straight. I finished it up by patching the shoulders, underarm, collor, and anything else I missed.

I recommend a striped coat to duct-tape. Having something to line up with is incredibly nice.

That's what happens when you're hidden behind some mats controlling a portable TV station for three cameras and a laptop... I don't even have a clue about what happened to Miss Daisy all day long..

two lousy months until the new season... (looks at calendar in disbelief)
