So... Who has actually finished their bot?

Week six was full of adventure, as the team geared up for ship.  We're shipping this Tuesday and there is still plenty to be done!  While half of the students stayed at the site to continue building, a group of us went to Suffield Shakedown, a scrimmage at Suffield High School that shows teams what they're looking at for the competition season.  While some teams were well prepared, it was obvious that most still had some work to do.  This season has definitely been rough up here in the Northeast, with all of the snowstorms and whatnot.  Although there were only two working mini-bots, it was clear that they would become the deciding factor in the coming regionals.  At the competition, I got to see a lot of people from a lot of teams.  We saw the rookie team from Mercy High School, and came to find that they were doing very well in terms of completion.  I also got the chance to talk to Connecticut's Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman.  I gave her my team shirt and made her an honorary member of Team Paragon.  It was an exciting day for everyone!
