Go to Post Personally, I'm really not jealous of any good team in FIRST. I'm happy for them, and take a page out of their books to see how we can better impact our students in the future. - waialua359 [more]

Talking Who spent their holiday on FIRST?

How many teams worked today?
We worked from around 8 am to 3 pm, and got a bunch of stuff done, like most of the field, and a cool prototype.
Anyone else agree with me that the best way to spend a holiday is to work on the robot all day?

Re: Who spent their holiday on FIRST?

We definitely spent the entire day at work (9AM to 4 PM). Yay for us! We're driving and the award submissions are nearly done! Jeez... We're productive this year.... I think it's because of all that Chipotle...

Re: Who spent their holiday on FIRST?

Our sub-system groups all met on their own at various locations today (or @ my house, seemed like a popular meeting location....). Each grouped worked different hours, most from sometime around noon-4ish.

Re: Who spent their holiday on FIRST?

My team was planning to, but ended up not doing it because someone had to open the school and some people weren't able to show up anyway. But we get the whole day tomorrow to work on it!

lots of progress on the electronics and pneumatics

Re: Who spent their holiday on FIRST?

yeah our school still had school. Purdue didn't have any classes though. Unfortunately my class doesn't meet on modays. But yeah we got alot done still. I have been CADing the robot since the beggining of the weekend. My mother came up to the room the other day to make sure if i was still alive. Alls seems well though with this rookie team so far. Ask me that qusetion again during 5th or 6th week and I might have a different answer.
