Hello to all!
To begin, the King 5 interview this morning was cancelled. If anyone watched the news this morning, the airwaves were not graced with the elegance of black and white. The lives of many were saddened this morning with the news that rightfully took our place: the death of the State Patrol Trooper. The hearts of everyone on the team go out to his family. I will never understand those who kill people that devote their lives to the public. I do understand robots though, and that is what you are here for… hopefully.
Tonight was 6-8, in light of most members of the team getting even less than no sleep. We turned the robot entirely over to the programmers tonight, and one might say the ball is in their court. I personally worked on the Operator Interface, aka where the drivers drive the robot. I have said it 1000 times before, but I say it again, this year’s OI will look great. A lot like the robot. Hopefully it will work, too. But like they say, one can’t have his cake and eat it too. Just joking. Just joking. Button production has also started in earnest. The marketing team was pumping out buttons so furiously I was soon wading in particularly colorful discs as I wrote my notes.
On another note, I am going to start a new segment called “words from the not so wise”, or “a blind man helping pick out glasses” or something like that. But it will be a new piece of advice for rookie teams in the area. We really want you guys to stick around, and would love to help in any way. So the way I think this could work is if you are on an FRC team out there, or are an alum, or are anybody at all, you could send a piece of advice as a comment and I will pick one to post every other night. Also include your team name and number. So please, your comments would be great!!
That is it! I hope everyone is getting pumped for regional season, and I also hope you…
Stay Smelly!!
