Hello. Normally this would have been about what I've learned about python, but this isn't the case. Since my last post from 2 weeks ago, I have been too busy to really learn anything about python. And this week is a special case. Like my first ever blog post, my 20-time project has been interrupted by a robotics competition, only this time it's on home turf.
The Minnesota 10,000 Lakes Regional, or as it is informally called by everyone as "10k", started on Thursday and at the time of this blog post, is currently ongoing. However for me, it's been going on since Monday night. For 2 days straight, I worked with my robotics team to get our robot up, running, and packed up for 10k. I also helped out on Wednesday night, which sucked up most of my time in the first half of the week. But then came Thursday, the opening day. In order to make up most of our teams time, we rushed out at 7:00 in the morning to get to our pits at Minnesota State University, where 10k was hosted. We began to work on our robot immediately, putting together and testing it in practice matches for nearly 14 hours straight. And then today, Friday, we began to compete in the qualification matches. Now is the time our hard work meant something. I mostly helped with general fabrication, but today I temporarily became part of our drive team, being the guy setting out gears for our robotic to pick up. It was pretty fun! Much better than scouting out matches, which involved logging in every movement of every robot on the field.
Tonight, team 3184 Blaze Robotics has so far managed to get to 15th place, with the possibility of going to quarterfinals tomorrow. I am exhausted from working so much, so I apologize for not having a on topic blog post. I also apologize for the bad grammar, but it's 11:30 and I need to get this done. Next Friday though, I promise that we'll be finally on topic.
