Auri, our robot, is shipped and we are ready to go. While we wait, read a little about our last week before competition. It all started when we said: We have five days to till competition; let us book 18 hours of pool time. To say the least, it was a roller coaster ride full […]
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, […]
