Well Fall Chibotica 2007 is finally over. Months of effort culminated in a pretty great show. I hope we get invited back. The combat side went the worst in the planning stages and yet they got invited back immediately. Go figure.
Things went wrong during the show to be sure. Chibotica definitely had creeping contestitis. We were so far behind our schedule it wasn't funny. Its a good thing three contests were canceled due to lack of participants. Next year we'll spread it out over both days and maybe even run some some loser brackets during the trade only days.
Scotty and Mike Overstreet have some good footage of the show.
I'll be glad to get back to some regular robot time for a little while. At least until Spring Chibotica starts getting hot. The bi-annual schedule kills me. Calkins wants to do RoboGames once a quarter. I can't even imagine.
Anyway, I want to revive my Robomagellan dreams, do some good humanoid balance and gait work and make a decent Mini-Sumo with my secret weapon. I'll consider myself lucky if I get one of the three done in '08.
