This is unrelated to first but it sure is a lot better than being mistaken for a fifty year old person while only being eighteen. Of course it was at a funeral but still I dont look that old. I have had very little bad experiences in First. Though the worst has to be the feeling of nervousness whenever we use the robot. Its like giving birth to a baby. I don't care about winning I just want the dam thing to work. Though I feel really dumb for not thinking of using ripstop nylon. It is soo much lighter than the fabric we used on our robot.

I realize that I've been drawn into the trap of thinking that this is about robots and scores and winning. Reboot. Remember why we do what we do. - Mr. Van [more]
