No, I'm from Minnesota. I only work in outer space.

One week left? Seriously? Jeepers. Well, yay for three day weekends at least.

Actually we're in pretty good shape, and I think we're even a bit further ahead than we were last year at this time. We actually got Zazu running (after an incident with magical smoke and wheels not going the right way), so pretty much everything has been wired up except a few motors for things other than the wheels that need motoring. And we were experimenting with a few different designs for the roller device that would scoop soccer balls up, but then we ran out of time so we'll pick up again on that tomorrow.

The Eagan mini-regional is this Saturday, but chances are we'll just spend the whole time re-working stuff on the robot that will suddenly not work. But at least it'll be a good chance to see what other teams have come up with, help some other teams with any problems they may have, food, let new people get practice driving, etc.

Pops is eating away at much of our fellow robo-people's souls. Beware of the bandies. And Shakespeare, come to think of it. Do not let your guard down around that Shakespeare fellow.

I think I'm too tired to write anything coherent.
