Ship Day

Today was Ship Day 2007. Our robot was picked up by FedEx around 2:30, packed up and safe within our new crate - pics to come. There was a team-wide melancholy aura, in that we're happy to see it go because we're that much closer to competition [our first regional, the Florida Regional at UCF, is two weeks from Thursday], but we're also done with the main building season, which is always a sad event.

Today we worked mainly on organizing the various bins, setting up the practice robot, and getting the past years' robots in working order for the Coconut Creek Business Expo this weekend. The practice robot should be up and running by the end of the week, allowing for driver training and practices to begin.
