First day "seeding" rounds are done

Well, there were some glitches, and not being able to have any practice rounds yesterday probably set us back a bit. But we hung up some logo pieces and tried deploying the minibot several times. Humble web mentor may have missed a final match. When we left at 6:00 the team was in 25th place ( out of 39 or so). So, pretty good!

Be sure to check out the links in the previous blog entry, Social Media, if you'd like to see the action.

More tomorrow -- though we're all disappointed that the Verizon Center's "Free Wifi" has no connection to anything. How useless is that?!

Final team meeting before Competition

Today is Sunday, and almost the entire team is here. We're packing, running through checklists, going over the schedule for the coming Competiton, eating pizza, and much more:

The Safety Committee is wrapping things up, mentor Ted Goulet is putting his sign business supplies and expertise to good use, the team is discussing who will be on the Drive Team at competition.

Web Newness and Goodies

This week, we've posted lots of new photos on the photos page, put up a photo slideshow of them on the About page, and lots of new videos of testing, especially of the minibot.

More to come, soon.

And, this is Submit for Awards Consideration week.
