We had a very brief, but fun-filled visit from the Lima Steidls.   Here are a few pictures.

Just thought I’d share these few video clips from our January visit.  I know I enjoy watching them over and over.

Lego Robot Competition

Posted on February 18th, 2009 by Pa

Today was the big competition at Case, and Hoban’s performance was very respectable.   A 4th place was achieved through an admirable effort at the event.   The originally planned algorithms could not be completed in time (lessons learned for next year) and an overnight rewrite was incomplete when we left for the event this AM.   To make it worse, the robot was left at home — prompting an emergency call to, and courier run by, a team member’s mother (God bless her!).  Program tuning throughout the day was successful and got the team into the final-four runoff.   Everyone was pumped, and the underclass team members are already planning for next year.

Take that L.A.

I know, it’s pathetic that all we talk about lately is the weather. At least this time, we’re not complaining. After the groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter, we’re getting a welcome reprieve — for a few days only, I’m sure.
