At the museum of science and industry for the robotics social. Awesome

Day 1 of First Robotics Competition complete. We past inspection and competed in one practice match. Still some work to do but sill awesome

Only 10 minutes to get the un fitting bumpers on the robot. Alliance team members pitched in and helped us. We made it on time. Awesome

met a mentor of 2 separate robot teams. She kept robot and parts in her van cause there was no room where they met. I'm totally inspired.

At the recommendation of my sister I went to see the body works exhibit. Awesome and creepy

Last day midwest robotics First regionals. HS kids, Eng. Mentors, Robots, and a great celebration of sci & tech. No place I would rather be.

Robot completion is over for our team this season. Didn't get picked for the finals. Finals are going to be awesome though.

2011 First midwest regional robotics completion is complete and thus for me the season. See you next year AWESOME!!!

Thinks Chicago Union Station is one of the best places in the world to people watch.
