Getting Down To The Wire

Many students from both 'capture the bunny' teams showed up at the lab today to get some last minute work done on their robots before the competition on thursday. Both teams appear to be excited, and are making some final tweaks to both their software and hardware so that they can use tuesday and wednesday for practice. At different points during the afternoon, both teams' robots lay in pieces on the floor while team members changed battery mounts, added devices, changed pneumatic configurations, and made sure their robots would fit within the size limits.

Our department managers scurried around the lab assisting the 'capture the bunny' teams, measuring robots for compliance with the size limits, and helping troubleshoot pesky problems. Our Team Captain continued working on our shipping crate for the competition robot and claims he will be finished by Wednesday evening.
