Meet the Chariot
I haven't posted on here in since I was still in college, so I wasn't really sure what forum this should go under, but I saw this glorious, golden piece of mechanical art floating around here on the Johnson Space Center campus today and wanted to share it with the FIRST world.

Make sure to watch the videos of it, particularly the hill climb. Not that FIRST students necessarily need any extra inspiration for what can await them if they stay focused in college, but this certainly can't hurt.

"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe .... In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. "
