Firsts are always so exciting; and our first pool test of the year was no exception. It was a cold Sunday evening, and there was excitement in the air. In the past years, pool tests have not went so well. I mean, they have been standard pool tests. Robot in the water, troubleshooting software problems, […]

Jon woke me up this morning and Parsa, Jon, Sheide and I decided to go to Transdec early to see if we could qualify for semifinals as soon as possible. We packed up the robot in the truck and were on our way! Once we got there, I was seconds away from missing the morning […]
