Long time no see. I’ve returned from Taiwan! I’m still in the process of getting everything back in order including some RSBANDB stuff, school stuff, and lots of email.
First off, sorry about the pictures XD. I couldn’t get them uploaded for some weird reason, but here are the official ones not taken by me. Please also do take a look at this video. It’s awesome.
Now I need to actually start on my AP assignments, which are due in two days. It also sucks to not have your new schedule because your out on vacation… grr…

I just got here into Taiwan after flying back from Hawaii last Saturday. It’s really humid 
My team had pretty bad luck during the competition. During the double-elimination rounds (two loses and you’re out), one of our motors broken in the first round, so obviously we lost. After that round we took it to get it fixed. While we were fixing it, we were called up again to compete. So yea, it sucked.
However, the conference itself was fun. Got to meet smart people and Hawaii was fun. I’ll be posting some pictures later.

It’s been awhile since I updated here, primarily because of my busy school work. Since the last post, I’ve been working almost every hour on programming the robots, and the hard work paid off at the competition. Our team came in fifth overall and received a first place trophy for first place documentation. We also received several other awards including best sportsmanship, best onsite presentation, and double-elimination round finalist. ABC also made a coverage on the regional event.
We plan on moving on to the International Botball Tournament in Hawaii in July. So right now we are busy with mainly two things. Preparing for the Hawaii trip and rebuilding our robots. Our main problem right now is with funds. Going to Hawaii would cost us around $7000 for a group of seven. Right now, we are looking for any sponsors, but we seem to have no luck. Our last resort would have to be getting our hands dirty fund raising ourselves by selling hot dogs or whatever. At the tournament, we saw so many great ideas. In order to win, we must completely redo our strategy.
Besides the busy robotics stuff, I’m also preparing for an AP Chinese exam that’s coming up in two weeks. I haven’t even touched the study material so far. Also, I’m upgrading my Ubuntu machine to Feisty Fawn and I plan on configuring it as a LAMP server so I can get my feet back on web developing. After typing all this, I just realized how busy I am XD .
