I'm not sure about 1251, but over here at 408 we are *broke*.
That an our sponsor-guy what very doubtful that we would even finish the robot in time.
What's this whole Connecticut thing?

Lol @ "408 has to go, I forgot to tell you.." We got back to South Florida at close to 2am Tuesday(?) morning, went home and went to sleep for about three hours, go back up and went over to 1251's place and fixed a part on the robot (The Lower Rollers/BaneBots thing was still giving us problems) and crated it up.

I'll get my pictures up that I took of the whole weekend later tonight..

I have to say, you guys over at Exploding Bacon are some of the nicest people I've ever night. Thanks for all the help, support, and FOOD...
