Insane Week

So I got back from Hartford last night after another crazy weekend. After 3 more intense days of FIRST action at the UTC Regional, Gael Force returned home with another gold medal. That's right, 2 regional wins in back-to-back weekends. I've never won two regionals in one year, let alone that close together. It's pretty awesome.

Also, the trip itself was great. We had tons of fun in the hotel as usual, especially saturday night. I saw Captain John again from Clarkson, who recognized me after 4 years. I thought that was kind of cool. Also, we all were sitting around in the lobby eating leftover pizza and playing card games, when I started doing my inverse-indian-leg sitting crab walk thingy (I'll show you sometime if this doesn't make sense). From this spawned a 2 hour session of about 20 people all sitting around showing off freaky/awesome things they could do. The result was: me crab walking and head-standing, lots of pushups, hair moving from the murray's, Kali bending her hand in half, Fred break-dancing, and Mr. Bradway turning his eye-lids inside out. More stuff happened, but I can't remember it all right now. Crazy, to say the least.

Then at one point, one of the cooks came walking through the lobby and asked what we were doing here. We said that we were part of a robotics team competing at the Meadows. He was pretty impressed, and then said "Don't never become a chef". We literally all died when he said this. It was hilarious. But it was okay, because about 10 minutes later he brought out a basket full of apples and cookies.

Oh well, time for bed. Later folks.
