Carrying Operator Interfaces On Airplanes?

[pras870]

I remember last year, we made a really cool cube control box out of lexan for the nationals. It took me about 2 weeks to make the plans and get everything together. Then our leader said "since you built it, you're bringing it on the plane." Granted, this was aronud the time after 9/11 when all the airports were suspicious to anythign electronic.

Needless to say, I didn't have such a fun time getting looked at strangly by everyone there. I'm a robotics operator, not a terrorist! Oh well, it was a lot of fun, and it still looks pretty sweet!
