Only if the team is #1, #11, or #1111. The design was a fallout of a long build day and everyone being a little giddy. So they got painted when we painted our bumpers, what's a little overspray among friends? Raul said, "Ping Pong balls, they weigh nothing!"

Lauren,
I am glad you are working with a team. You will prove to be a great Wildstang ambassador out there in CA. Don't give away all our secrets at once though. Heads might explode. We really are very proud of you, keep up the good work. Two more students are following in your MSOE footsteps this year.

Everyone,
Who ever said we were under weight? Isn't that what Thursdays are for, dieting?!?

Al, Looks great (as usual). Are those welds I see? Where are all the rivets?

Good luck at midwest.

Mike,
Welds are for the parts that aren't supposed to move. Rivets for those that might or those that break or those that are too heavy to stay on...There's too many reasons for rivets.
