Day #25: Robo-Uh-Oh!

Today was Mall Day for the Kansas BEST Robotics Hub. I didn't get to drive Mikey (we ran out of time), but the poor fellow was kind of broken anyway. Ya see, gravity likes to work 99.98% of the time and Mikey was not the lucky victim of that 0.02%. He came crashing back down to Earth and was injured in the process. So, instead of driving the robot, I tweeted for the robot! @BravesBEST  It's a great time. I then spent the rest of the day watching movies with my mumsy and Ash and then cleaned my room.

Today, I learned...

1. ... that the purpose of Mall Day is not so much to practice on a game floor, but to figure out what bits of your robot will not work with the game floor. Sure, some would call that practice, but I feel there were a few exception-schools that only had to practice considering their robots were awesome (*coughWichitaHomeschoolcough*)! We now know what we need to fix on poor Mikey.
2. ... that my Senior Year is preparing me for college in an interesting way: there is a definite decrease in the amount of time I spend hanging out with my friends outside of school activities. This will prepare me for the wretched homesickness that will come from moving several states over. My past few years of high school have been jam packed full of school things and hanging out with my friends (mostly my ex-boyfriend and my best friend/current-boyfriend, but still). If I was not hanging out with one of those two or with Taylor, I was hanging out with all of my friends at the same time. Well, let's just say I've been spending a lot of extra time at home. On the (seriously) positive side, I get to spend more time with my mumsy!
