godreamSo I went to the Thursday robotics meeting tonight, since they're the only ones I can make because the Fountain meeting on Monday is at the same time. I swear they were at the exact same point as last week, meaning they did nothing at all for two hours Monday, and last week I remember noticing that (give or take a pair of wheels) they were in the same place as the week before. (Unless that was Thanksgiving in which case I mean two weeks before.)
Let me slow down and clarify: we are building battlebots, and by the "they" in the previous paragraph, I mean the half-dozen guys on the wedge team. (Which I am on because they would get absolutely nothing done otherwise.) The half-dozen guys on the flipper team have dimensions and tentative locations for internals. We've got a side-view sketch, now, and that's because I drew it today, while the guys made ruler jokes. ("Dude, look at my huuuuuge ruler." "Look at how you're touching my ruler." "Stop playing with your ruler!") Sometimes -- or maybe "always" is the word I'm looking for -- freshman boys drive me crazy. And I'm inclined to think they're all freshmen at heart.
