842, if one of you guys needs a copy I can scan and email (If you have difficulty finding the April edition, since most places near me take a while to get the new editions out).

Thanks for the offer. The April Wired hit the bookstores in Phoenix last week, so everyone bought a copy.
Josh Davis, the author, didn't mention FIRST, but he did come to our Kickoff, returned for the Arizona Regional and will meet us in Atlanta. I don't think he is going to do a story, but he is hooked on FIRST!
As a FIRSTer you can see we were really building a waterproof FIRST robot. The control system, battery on board, and the knowledge that building a bot that is reliable and can play every match really gave us an advantage. Just goes to show you that the skills we all learn in FIRST really is valid engineering!
BTW, we hear through the ROV grapevine that MIT really does not want to lose to us again. Also Carnegie Mellon is entering this year. The competition just got a lot tougher.
See you in Atlanta

thanks,
Allan
