First Robotics

Man, sorry you're not making it out, Comp...I was looking forward to it. And maybe I forgot to mention it, but I'm [apparently] the only person in the Northern Hemisphere that doesn't now, nor ever has owned a cellphone...wierd, huh. o_O I'll have to find a website, or just head on down there Friday afternoon to take in the action and hope Electokens teams up. I'll be wearing my Elio Owner's t-shirt for easy identification.

Try here on the day of the event then...

I'll post which of the 8 divisions we're in as soon as the assignments are released. That will make finding us suck 87.5% less.

Tonight we figure out how to get a 77.5" tall machine into a 60" tall crate.

Sawzall?

You hear about the team that got like 300 points by themselves? Three stacked totes and three bins in auto, then just tore it up from there.
Amazing...

GOT to be the same event electoken and his team are attending. Guess I'll have to swing by Boeing's area to see if I recognize any of the mentors.

It's definitely the same event. Boeing gives out tons of swag at this event.

Here's a picture of Talon XVI. You may recognize one of the sponsor logos on this side...

Makes perfect sense that Boeing would want to sponsor events like this. One of the kids on your team could be the next great innovator [at Boeing ].

See ya down there!

 

[electroken]

We've been assigned to the Curie Division. There are 76 teams in our division, 608 teams in all!
