25 pitchers of beer, oh yeah. And the professor bought 4 of them. How many other classes can claim that? This class has been responsible for many all nighters, high hopes, dashed hopes, four breakups, one emergency room visit, and a hell of a worthwhile experience. It was awesome.

Incidentally, my team's robot, which we named Whirlwind at the last minute, soundly trounced the competition. We scored 36 points. The next highest robot scored 20, and many scored no points at all. A good showing, especially considering that while other robots were playing the first two matches we were at the computer behind the podium desperately trying to fix a software failure that was rendering our robot non-functional.

We're also in the local newspaper.
