We arrived at the San Jose Event Center this morning before 8:30AM, got GGBOT out of the crate, and attempted a few practice rounds. There was a bit of trouble with the radio signal, the drive chain was a bit stretched and needed tweaking, 3 team members had baseball games to play, the seniors had to stay at school for tests, but by the end of the day, the team was tired and satisfied.
A team from Danville came up and said, "Hey, you were on TV! We saw you."
"We were on TV four times, the radio once, and in two newspaper articles!" Can you belive it?
We're hoping that some of you generous donors and supporters will come to see us tomorrow for the elimination events and Saturday for the finals. Silicon Valley offers some challenging matches and we're happy to be there. Expect some exciting robo competition.
Root for team 1031! Boilermakers! Yeah!
