It appears that team 420, and I with it, are going to the FIRST nationals! So many teams won first place at multiple competitions that they had a drawing for lowly teams like ours to come as filler.

Here I am again; Most of my things are packed. My seat-side luggage is gotten together, although It may need some whittling down might be needed, and I am free(ish) and bored.

Today I am to pack and day-after-tomorrow to leave. It is but a sad fix to leave you in: following a new blog intently, only to find that the blogger has left. You find yourself stranded, sitting at a nice computer in a nice heated air conditioned house. I, on the other hand will be [...]
