We had put on a tarp to cover the robot before leaving, however on the way to Indy the wind had caused the tarp to get all kinds of holes. So Friday morning we took the hair dryers out of the hotel and started blow-drying the daylights out of the entire robot. Tytus and Arefin helped us out by getting a shop vac and some WD40 for the parts that had started to rust. The robot wasn't too badly damaged however we think that the rain caused several problems that we are now dealing with.

some poor team left the top of their trailer open in the monsoon outside the school on thursday night. so i ran out there to try to close it for them and just ended up breaking it. sorry to whoever's trailer that was.

The rain reminded me of Atlanta. Remember the rainstorm there? Just as hard, more lightning, just as short. My family waited under a restaurant porch until it slowed down a bit (Californians tend not to be used to lots of hard rain.)
