Qotw [02-20-03]: Top 5 things you are going to do after shipping...

[Ken Leung]

Hi all! First of all, give yourself a pad in the bag, because you've finally made it through the 6 weeks build period (more like 7)! I've seen a lot of robots in the robot showcase forum, and they look great!

Since you worked so hard on the robot, I am doing an easy question this week. I want this week's Question of the week matching the one on the weekend of kickoff, because in a way, we are coming back to the real world after 6 weeks in a parallel universe where the outside world doesn't exist. Hopefully, after a good night sleep, you will remember where you left off 6.5 weeks ago. With that in mind, here is the question of the week...



Question 02/20/03:

What's the top 5 things you are going to do after shipping the robot?

Have fun, and get plenty of rest. Because its going to get so much more exciting in a few weeks!

2. Do some homework at home! (What a concept!!)
3. See some friends that I haven't had a chance to talk to ... in the last 6/7 weeks
4. Try to withstand the caffeine headaches that are sure to come
5. SLEEP

(Yeah, I'm going to do everything ... in that order, probably!)
