Off to Robogames

We secured the Desmolisher to the roof with shrink wrap on a pallet and tie downs. And a few bungee cords. It held up. Then we drove to San Mateo for Robogames.





After driving 8 hours, we showed up at the event center at 7pm.





Apparently our scale at home isn't as accurate as the scale here because we ended being 5 lbs over the limit. We spent a few hours chopping metal off to get under the limit (120 lbs) so we could pass inspection.

Here's Scott cutting off 5 lbs of metal:





Also it turns out we registered as "Test" so Desmolisher will be called Test this year in the ring. We thought we'd just drop it off but it ended up taking 3 hours. And we passed inspection! Then we left and ate pizza.
