The Reston "Civil Unions" banner was finally replaced as of last Wednesday. The banner looks to be about the same size as the last one, but the font's a bit larger. The clear packing tape repair job was down by Sunday night. I'm pretty sure it either fell apart on its own or the folks at the church took it down, seeing what a slapdash midnight hackjob it appeared to be.

I saw The Way Things Go at the Hirshhorn a couple months back. I took a picture of the name plate afterwards so I could look it up later, and I just got around to it now. I remember a security guard yelped at me for using flash photography in the exhibit.
Now, I must go search out The Point of Least Resistance

Here's some more robot team coverage:
Another minor obstacle was discovered the day before during a scrimmage with other teams in Washington, D.C. The robot's arm hit its computer's off switch.
This is about half the story. Full story: scrimmage matchs starts, but our bot doesn't move. What's wrong ? Alas, no one turned on the power ! Once other bots are out of the way, a student runs out and flips the switch. Said bot moves about ten feet forward, it's arm raises up and then flips backwards. It falls on the power switch and turns itself off again. Hilarity ensues.

Sometime during my bot-imposed absence, robotwisdom reappeared. Hemp, hemp, hurray!

Ughh, the bot has finally shipped. From last Thursday to last night I was working on it twelve hours a day. I was pretty much fried by Saturday afternoon. Maybe I'll post a picture or two of the finished product tonight.
