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...

Being the first division to post a story on Delphi is just another reason Archimedes is awesome. Thanks, Beth for this great and funny story (I'm sure all the great team names helped).

That is a challenge for CD members in other divisions. Between this story and our thread it looks like Archimedes is winning the CD pre-Championship competition.

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.

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.
