I'm a finalist!
Alright, so the local rock station had a promotion with the local scooter place. People on the station's email list could enter to become a finalist to compete in a race (on a manual scooter) on a 500-inch (that's 41.67 feet) course. The fastest time of the ten finalists gets a West Coast Mini-chopper.
And I'm a finalist.
So forgive me if I'm not my general post-happy self--I'm going to be training hardcore for this one. (Mainly because the scooter has to be better on gas than my car, which to me is drop-dead secksay. The mileage, not necessarily the chopper.) The race is Thursday. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Practice bots are not regulated by FIRST. Your practice bot could have a flamethrower and a jamming device on it, and they wouldn't care in the slightest.
You just can't compete at a competition with it. :) - AlecMataloni [more]
