thinkgeek: One of our referrers today is the 4-H Exploding Bacon Robotics Club. We approve. http://j.mp/dkNlJK

The great people at Thinkgeek found our forum and apparently saw something they liked. They then posted it on their twitter and promptly crashed our poor little forum. We're okay with it though, Thinkgeek is awesome

I sent a message via 1902's website and got a response from WendyMom that the team was thrilled about the attention from ThinkGeek (who wouldn't be ). This led to me DMing TG to relay the news and tell them about FIRST. Now they are thinking about going to the DC Regional next weekend.

So, if you are going to DC, keep an eye out for Timmy
