Well things were really busy this year. I spent most of my time writing the event software we used to run the event and I added a pair of POS VFD displays to display the current event and the robot's names. I did find a serious bug in Shadow's firmware and after fixing it, I watched Shadow take out Mini-Spat and get first place. Hmmm better work on Mini-Spat's firmware next.

Here's Shadow, aka Flat-Spat. James ran Shadow and got 1st place in mini-sumo, defeating Mini-Spat!. |

Mini-Spat lost the very first match to Shadow and then crawled up the loser's bracket to get 3rd. |

MegaMazer turned in 3 almost perfect runs in the Expert Maze class. The search and rescue was performed correctly each time! |
