I'm going to be away until Saturday night (until Sunday really) at a robotics competition, the culmination of alot of hard work the past two and a half months. NASA is actually going to be webcasting the competition if any of you feel like watching (not until Friday and Saturday). Here's some info:

Location: Naval Academy @ Annapolis, MD
URL of Webcast: http://robotics.nasa.../chesapeake.htm
My Team: #1656 - Haverford School Robotics
Robot Name: AlFe
When (Eastern Time): Friday March 18, 9am to 4:30pm & Saturday March 19, 9am to 3pm

I'm one of the drivers for my team, so if you watch and hear my team announced before a match you'll most likely see me. My robot is a blue box on wheels with a flipper, and so we should really stand out from the other robots that almost all have arms. To learn more about the competition, visit US First.

Ok, i'll have a look^^

Best of luck to you, hope you do us proud. (Your robot has the forums URL on the side right? XD) Nothing like free advertising. Seriously though, good luck to you!

Sweet, Max. I bookmarked the page. When you say 9AM, do you mean your time? As, I am three hours behind you, and I'm not sure if you're like saying eastern, or anything. ._.

Thanks for your support everyone. I'm going to leave for Annapolis, MD in a few minutes. I have updated by original post with the time code (Eastern) and the name of the bot.

It's who has built the best robot, I believe Max said something like "They judge it by what it can do," either way, it'll be cool.

As the others have already said, good luck! Hopefully the judjes will pick your robot if it's good enough (which it obviously is). =)
