A Excuse for Peoria

Hello.

Now this would have been a post about what 20-time and Python is, but I have 36 minutes until I have to post this, so I'm not going to have good grammar. I have been working for the last 2.9 days at the FIRST Robotics Competition in Peoria, Illinois for Blaze Robotics team 3184, our high school's robotics team. Tonight we are freaking out. We have somehow placed in the top 10 teams after today's qualifying matches, and can be picked to compete further if we win most of our games tomorrow. Problem is, some of our systems aren't fully functioning, but our competitors are fully functional. So we have a very slim but real chance of making it. I'm currently sitting in the lobby of the hotel, filled with a dwindling amount of Blaze Robotics members. A member from Trident robotics is talking to the drive team member right next to me, two senior mentors, another teammate, and the team captain, are lounging on the couch across from me, discussing strategy. To the front-right of me, 2 other members are definitely doing something, and the two hotel employees at the front desk are gossiping and being bothered by some guy from another team asking questions. A coffee table in front of me, covered in modified rope, intelligence papers on other teams performances in the qualifying matches, Mtn. Dew, power cords and cookies.  I'm also typing on my main laptop, rather than the pathetic Chromebooks the schools providing us. I'm also very tired, and so is everyone else.

Did I get you to imagine a scene that has nothing to do with 20-time or Python? Yes?
Then welcome to the 20 time python blog.
