2/9 - 10am
Long time no type.
We survived the funeral ok. Randy was a funny guy, he liked to tell stories about how technology conspired to thwart him, even though he was a technologist. He had written a short book several years back, and two or three stories from it were read at the funeral....the gathered were laughing pretty good by the end of them....
We're hard at robot construction, the team finally got the main part of it together enough to drive around, and hopefully will be able to pickup up the game pieces (swim rings) by tomorrow.
Only a week to go after that, to work out the bugs, adjust the weight, program it to score at the beginning of the game without any human help, and get the drivers trained operating it. And work out more bugs.
And wife is heading up to DC a couple days before the robot needs to be shipped, so we'll get horse feeding duty, etc. to help with our busy scheduling.
