We were eliminated in the quarter-finals. What a long, strange trip it's been!

Typing in all caps is considered yelling.I BUILT A ROBOT FOR HOME DEPOT CALLED "HOMER-BOT" .
THIS IS AN INVENTORY ROBOT THAT IS DRIVEN OFF A LAPTOP & JOYSTICK CONTROLS .
IT HAS A TELESCOPING BOOM THAT CAN BE EXTENDED TO 20 FEET IN THE AIR .
IT CAN BE MANUALLY DRIVEN OR NAVIGATE THE STORE ON IT's OWN .
ON THE BOOM THERE ARE SIX HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERAS .
IT IS DRIVEN BY ELECTRIC MOTORS IN THE BASE & IS EXTREMELY MANEUVERABLE .
THEY TURN THE HOMER-BOT LOOSE IN THE STORE AT NIGHT AND IT RUNS UP & DOWN EVERY ISLE
IN THE STORE . THE CAMERAS CHECK INVENTORY OF NOT ONLY WHAT IS AT CUSTOMER LEVEL
BUT WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE STORAGE RACKS 3 LEVELS UP .
IT DOES A VISUAL CHECK AS WELL AS READING BAR CODES .
THIS IS COMPARED WITH WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE SO IF ITEMS ARE MISPLACED , MISSING OR LOW ,
THE STORE EMPLOYEES ARE ALERTED AND CAN GET THE SHELVES BACK IN ORDER .
THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT WAL-MART IS ALSO INTERESTED IN THE TECHNOLOGY .

I'm happy to have met NSTG8R in person and that he got to witness the controlled chaos that is the FIRST Championship.
I don't know the words to fully express how proud I am of the kids that make up the Gaelhawks. They've accomplished so much this year, having won 3 district events, a district Chairman's Award, and seeding 7th at champs. Beyond that, I get to see a bunch of kids that are largely strangers at the beginning of the year become a cohesive team and form friendships they'll have for life.
And maybe they have learned a little on the way.
Just curious, Ken. How did "Batman and Robin" fair in the competition? Cool looking for sure, but 'cool' doesn't gaurantee success.
