I'm not driving that one; it was his (my friend) first time driving it, and he got two balls underneath and broke the extension on the kicker off. Not our best round, but the only video I could find with my team's robot. The next competition is in Troy on Friday and Saturday.

I figured it was Michigan after looking at your profile, but I asked anyway. Good luck!

Willow Garage is a robotics startup which has some pretty massive funding right now. Check them out. The rack I was building here with 72 quad core cpu's and 1.8 tb of memory is for them to use as the AI for the autonomous robots. I got to check out their labs while installing that rack and I was amazed!

Check out their work.

I'm team 3414; we're in 8th right now. Dean Kamen was also there today.

We also got the rookie inspiration award in Ann Arbor, but nobody was there to claim it. http://www.firstinmichigan.org/index.php?topic=ann_arbor
