The last 24 hours have been very tiring.
Last night the drive belts started slipping, making a very bad noise. The friction between tires and carpet, when combined with the weight of 4 laptops was winning the battle. After thinking of some very desperate moves, we tried reducing the friction through the application of honest-to-Eris duct tape. Some last minute hax, working until the security guards kicked us out of the convention center, and we had a working robot. All my laser code was dropped, unfortunately.
I thought that having it still be light out at 23:30 would have made it feel less late when we finally left. Instead, it looked more like dawn and made it feel even later, stumbling home at 6:00.
