Re: 639 bot sees action in Iraq
Well, on the down side, I'm not sure what good the lightbulbs are going to do with the current power grid issues in Iraq, but on the bright side, it looks like fundraising won't be an issue for your team anymore!

This reminds me of a great idea. How about a FIRST yearbook, where each robot has a picture, and a "most likely to ..." line. That might be fun.

Oh yeah. That'd be sweet. I'll see if 617 can start that at the Nasa/VCU regional as a fundraiser - pics are free of your robot, and the book, maybe, I don't know, $20US?

That's one eluva fundraiser!
