You know, if a water game's out of the question...

...what about Robo-Quidditch?

Re: New Game Progress

Robot Quidditch and water game is now out of the question. .

It's just that.

1. It's hard enough to make regular robots, much less a flying robot. .

2. Assuming ur on the ground, the whole passing aspect of the game is totally wack. One robot would hold the ball the entire time.

It would be a bit tough if your robot was disabled 10 feet off the ground...

I second this notion, except I can't go because Kettering has classes then. And its like the first week of classes so I shouldnt skip... go figure.

But yes, If there are any doubts that the Construction Barrel is our state tree I can go out and grab a picture of one of our state parks, (I-75) and the forest on it.

I should have read this before before last nights design challenge. Thought we better teach the kids about buoyancy.

These are boats made of modeling clay and then loaded until they sink with BBs.
