The Nothing Thread

[JaneYoung]

I just had the best time. We are setting up the '07 robot for a display/demo at NI Week here in Austin and it was so much fun. Just in the brief time I was there dropping off stuff, I had a couple of people from other booths come over and introduce themselves and ask what team we are with. They are alumni from different teams, different states. It was awesome. Good stuff, that. I'll be in and out all week and will take photos of a few things like the cool banner that was made with our robot on it.

It's been interesting also because I'm still hauling around a lot of stuff from the San Antonio demo/scrimmage on Jul. 19 that Andrew Schuetze organized for us. I was on my way to IRI so my son pulled the trailer to that event. If I recall, it was raining or threatening to rain that day. We were helping FRC 2158, AusTIN Cans, with their robot and gear as well. So - for some reason the trailer tire jack is in my car but not the trailer and we aren't sure where some other things are - like a red ringer. They'll show up and I'm interested to discover where. In the meantime, I still had tools and the controller and everything loaded ready for the NI event. That was pretty cool. There's nothing better than a car loaded up for a FIRST demo/event/competition. It just about makes the day perfect.
