We cleared inspection before noon....but ran into a variety of small issues. One of the pneumatic cylinders that helps our robot do a step climb had been bent, probably at our open house. Trouble is that the roller foot had been put on with what the kids described as "about a gallon" of Locktite. Taking it off involved heating it up with a lighter to melt the glue.
The arena, pits on the far side, competition field on the near side. I had sought out the peace and quiet of the cheap seats for a while. I think I dozed off for a few minutes.

We will see how tomorrow plays out. Our first match is against a set of very good teams. Hopefully it gets a bit easier after that.
