snickers dark

we've seen this snickers dark commercial about 50 times in the past two weeks. at first, it really confused us because we can't figure out why there is a viking and a pilgrim, and now we crack up because the commercial is more ridiculous every time we watch it. SO RIDICULOUS that we did a little reenactment of the commercial --

cindy got so excited to throw the trashcan that she hit our robot. :P its because of that weightlifting class she's taking -- she's becoming too buff. cindy -- which way to the gun show? :oP

we decided to rebuild the ramp so that the balls would shoot up and over the other robot. we figure that a lot of the teams have now seen our strategy and might program their robot to block our four point bin. our new strategy is a high-risk, high-reward method to get around the four point bin robot blockade -- we'll see how well it works. cindy is the master of rebuilding ramps.

me and the rebuilt ramp

emily is still working on getting our robot to drive straight. we're attempting to use the gyro, and hopefully we will get the robot to drive straight by tomorrow. *crossing fingers*
