Thursday at WPI

Yesturday was the first day of the WPI regional. As always, Thursdays are reserved for unpacking, setup, and troubleshooting. We worked through all of our mechanical troubles yesturday - at the end of the day, our robot moved! It's always impressive to see what everyone is able to design and create in six short weeks of building.

Yesturday afternoon, the LigerBots recruited several other teams for a giant outdoor game of Capture the Flag. The game started with a few members of our team. We invited a few other teams to join and soon had a massive game running, with thirty people on each team. The sort of people who join FIRST teams are awesome.

Qualifying matches began at 9:00 this morning. We lost in the third match after opening ceremonies, but only by a few points (3-11). (A stream is accessable at mms://media.wpi.edu/firstregional. Scores are from http://www2.usfirst.org/2011comp/events/WOR/matchresults.html)
