Re: Archimedes Story

I really liked the story. How long did it take you to piece everything together like that and have it come out still sounding funny and creative?

Apparently somewhere where they have to go to Phoenix before the go to Indiana... then Atlanta... Yeah, they read maps as well as I do...

I don't think I'm going to get a chance to do the other divisions, but I encourage others to try!

I thought that was funny! I was thinking, if they didn't start from somewhere up north, and ended up in Hammond, they're probably going the wrong way, or taking an extreme detour! But hey. Robotics road trips are good times!

About the map thing---hahaha! I know how that goes. I am horrible at reading maps. Even mapquest can get me lost...

Since near north student robotics initiative is from Canada, we must conclude BOB and GUS are in fact, Canadian *gasp*

uhh Team 85 and team 228 I think your on the wrong side of the border.

Haha, well, I did it kinda in bits, but about an hour to write the whole story (ex-journalism major...)

And no, not that much free time, trying to procrastinate doing my tax accounting research project...

Re: Archimedes Story

Great story Beth! Team 85 is happy to see ourselves with such a prominent role in your tale. I hope the team can be just as key to the action on the field.

You really should avoid that procrastinating and try to catch up before travelling this week though. I hope everyone has safe travels and a good time.
