EDDIE!

So I've got good news. :]
Eddie is coming in on Tuesday because he doesn't have classes at USF.
We will talk more about the competition, maybe show some more entertaining video, and hopefully kind of settle into a meeting where i'm not just talking about a LOT of random things and distracting myself all over the place. As you can see, there's lots to talk about.

Copperhead is in my garage, ready to go into my trunk on tuesday - only it's in pieces. I'm not gonna put it together, because we're actually missing a few brackets and things that got damaged during competition, so I'm going to bring it in as is. But it will be interesting so you all can see how much things weigh, what everything feels like, what it does, and how everything needs to be in order for the bot to work. When it's put together, it's fairly obvious - "oh, well of course this goes there" - but as a pile of parts, it's far less obvious why things have to fit together the way they do, yknow? I promise I won't go into the super technical stuff yet... I'm sure that will come as we're designing our new bot.

Connor, Kate, and Kyle won't be there, but everyone else should be.
