Re: What's the Stupidest/Funniest Thing you did in Robotics during the '06 Season?

I got a speeding ticket, going 40 in a 35.

It was 6:30 in the morning and I was driving in the hills of Austin, trying to find the all night Kinkos out there to do some stuff for the team. I wanted to be able to get it to one of the leads when the team met @ 8a.m. I was trying to find the speed limit signs (lots of trees) and was thinking 40 was probably about right when I went around a curve..just as I went around a curve, I thought, 'hmm, this might be a 30 or 35 mph zone, it's a little wind-y and curvy here..' and as I slowed to 35, I saw a 35mph sign and also the red lights in my rear view. I pulled over, got my ticket and then asked directions to the Kinkos. The officer was very helpful.

sidenote: the Kinkos couldn't do what I needed even though I had called. I ended up going to one in by the university where I work that opens at 8 and I got to the team mtg. @ 9 - late anyway...
