Today was quite an eventful day, besides that fact that it was the last day of build, GUS was invited to the City Hall of Meriden to receive a Citation that declares Febuary, 28th. (2,28) to be GUS day! Pretty neat stuff! Everyone got to the shop around 8 this morning and we quickly mounted the turret. After that is was just continuing to wire and system check the robot as well as add a few finishing touches while we still could! We were able to wire and check everything on the robot except for the turret encoder and the second motor on the shooter. But we should be able to bust that out quickly on Thursday at the WPI regional! We also working on the sponsor panels made from dusted Lexan which gives the robot a very distinct look! I'm extremely happy with how this build season turned out. I've learned so much in the past six weeks it's insane! Although it may explain why my head is throbbing(also might be the lack of sleep!). This years robot is elegant, fast, simple, easy to maintain, and in my mind is very easy on the eyes. Here are all of the picture I took today!

I just want to thank all of the students and mentors that put their hearts and souls into this years build. Without the hard work by every student on the team we would never have gotten this far. I'm very very proud to say I'm the captain of a team like this. Now on the competitions!
