Robot gone? Now time to make a second one. The fun starts all over again.

Re: Robots gone.. Now what?

For me... now is the time to catch up on some missed sleep, catch up on some school work, and maybe get ahead on some school work before regionals.

Re: Robots gone.. Now what?

The team will put together Circumstance, our practice robot, and proceed to beat the stuffings out of it to figure out what'll need fixing at Palmetto. We'll also hopefully create a pit space (a first for us) and do all those other pesky things we neglected to do during build.

Personally, I'll be catching up on my rest (I've done well when it comes to schoolwork during build) and commencing work on a research project I've been working on for Preston College, my dorm residence hall residential learning community residential college, involving robotics. Fwahaahaa.

Boredom sets in until the regional. On the bright side, I've got some plans for how to machine a lightsaber...

Gee that's funny. I didn't know you were staying at my house, Mike
I got a chance to see my oldest son's karate class for the first time this winter tonight. After that I'm going to sleep, going to pay a little more attention to my actual job, maybe even notice when the sun goes up and down.
