Winter Arrives

We went so long without cold weather, and without precipitation of any form, that it seems people forget where we live.

I watched a SHAW truck almost take out my car because he kept pinning the accelerator, which just makes more ice under your tires. (Oh truck 4556, one day you’ll learn the hard way)

It’s not really all that cold, but the wind is a bear. Most of the impressive piles of snow are a result of the wind instead of actual accumulations.

We’re staying home and letting the fools of the neighborhood plow the routes clear. Some pictures:

The 2009 Robot Games are now done!

Yours truly came in second in the Minesweeper event, and missed out the top 3 slots in both Mini Sumo and Line Follower.

Was a great time and looking forward to next year’s already!

Videos have been posted; both on Facebook, and the WCRS Website.

Can’t even describe how great it was to be close enough to feel the blast of air hit us.

The Diesel fumes a bit much, and with the turbine its one screaming loud engine, but it was pure awesome the entire time.
