[FIRST 2010] Robot works, packed up and waits to be named

 Hooray! The robot is working! Yesterday's problem - a combination of wiring, faulty cables and some code - have been resolved. Test run was done at the school library.

 It can climb mountains

 And it can kick - hard

 Just like any professional engineer (and journalist) the team would like to work on it more but there is always a deadline. It's time to pack up because FEDEX is picking the robot up next morning to be sent to storage until the Silicon Valley Regional that's being held on March 18-20 at San Jose State University.

And off it goes.

Off it goes 1

Off it goes 2

 The team will continue to work on small parts and code, and also to come up with a name for their robot. But basically it's time to get some rest after 6 intense weeks of building. "Otsukaresama~" as we would say in Japanese.
