Robot Story

• When Sexy walks into the room, this is what he sees...o A light flashes and gets him moving

• ....except he's super wasted and starts making out with the wall

(Seriously though, we had some major last minute technical difficulties...)

Team Conclusions • Robots are cool • Happy wife, happy life.

(Dr. Arroyo’s advice)• In programming, format is everything

o Trying to overcome formatting difficulties by using Microsoft Word is not the best idea

• Greater respect for programmers• SAVE EVERYTHING!!!1one!eleven!!!
