No rush of course, as we are tired of looking at our shops too.

We leave late next week traveling to consecutive East Coast regionals and driving to both of them from Baltimore. We have to drive 3 1/2 hours right after flying for 15 hours (with stopovers) to get to the VCU regional area.
Too bad I'm the lead driver.

If your going to Championships, I will definitely look for your team and stop by your pit.

Good luck this season, even though you folks dont need it.

We'll keep an eye out for you in Atlanta. We're already registered and looking forward to it.

Are you flying into Baltimore-Washington Airport? Richmond shouldn't be more than two hours in good traffic, if I remember correctly. It's been a long time since I've made the drive and it's undoubtedly slower when you've got carloads of people, but it was a pretty easy, if uneventful drive. Of course, I've never done it after a fifteen hour day of flying.

I'll never complain about our three hour ride to Portland again. Thanks for the wishes of luck. We try to minimize its importance, but having it on our side is never a bad thing.

Nice work!

Thanks! We've had a lot of time to run this robot into the ground and iron out any bugs, so it's become quite reliable. We're excited to see how it will stack up against the competition, but we're confident that we're in for a good season.
