Time warp!

Hey guys!

whoa I know, its been AGES since we posted, and we're sorry! we all went a bit loony during build and got carried away with the awesomeness of our robot :) haha get it? loony? yeah. sorry. bad pun...ANYWAYS.

I'll try to go through everything that's happened since we last left off. We got TONS of programming and machining done as well as perfect the robot. We had a flip block on friday so most of our members just FLIPPED out and stayed at build for an extra three hours! [sorry...another bad pun...i must be channeling ashwin's spirit] By the friday before the robot was due, the team handed over the robot to the electrical crew and code was tested, edited, tested, and what else..? oh yeah! tested some more :) The drive crew and some other lucky members also got to go to NASA to test out our robots and check out robots from some other teams, and from what I've been hearing, our robot might not be the only awesome one! A completly expected piece of news, but still a piece of news. Saturday was mainly spent working on autonomous code and the electrical division did have a small problem [sorry. did i say small? it took about 2.5 hours to fix, so maybe a tad more than small] with IP adresses and not being able to load code onto the robot, but with the help of our awesome mentor, Mr. Laitnen WE GOT IT FIXED! the power of positive thinking, and adults! I hope some day I can save the world of some wannabe enginner kid with my awesome IP adress fixing skills! :D So Sunday was spent pretty much doing the same thing in electrical, and mech spent some time dotting the i's and crossing the t's on the robots and making last minute changes.
