Our robot, Captain Hook, arrived safely in Houston last night and right now we are unpacking it and testing every feature. We are preparing Captain Hook for competition tomorrow!

Cool things from the Pits
Jasper: We saw our team name in the FTC Hall of Fame, which I thought was really cool because its cool to see the past accomplishments of our team!

Jason: One of the teams had a LEGO globe which teams can place a flag on where there from.
Leo: A team had a tape measure giveaway that was in inches and centimeters and it was really useful since I can’t find one when I need it.
Ryan: One of the teams had a super small robot which was really surprising.
Kai: I got to talk about a really interesting experimental technology with a SWERVE alumni from Washington who is now a Sparkfun employee. The technology is an optical version of dead wheels which has a built in IMU and laser which uses sensor merging to get the most accurate results. What was really cool is the technology comes out in May.
Max: There was a team that had a raffle for a free safari trip to South Africa. I hope I win!
Tonight we went to a Vietnamese restaurant, Huynh, and the food there was fantastic! The Pho and other delicacies tasted really good and I would recommend going there again to any teams going to Worlds.
