Tonight marks the end of the second day of the Silicon Valley Regional. For those who don't know, the Silicon Valley Regional (or SVR for short) is a robotics competition held every year at San Jose State. While there are many regionals all over the country, SVR is widely regarded as the most competitive one and brings the best teams from all around the world. We have two incredible teams here from Texas, one from Florida, and of course the 2011 world Champions and reigning SVR Champion Bellarmine. Our robot paled in comparison to theirs and had a whole host of problems that kept us working nonstop for 12 hours yesterday and 11 hours today, but the regional was still enjoyable. Tomorrow will finish up the competition, after which robotics will be much quieter.

In music-related news, with the slow-down of robotics I hope to get back in to a more regular schedule of band practice soon, but am not sure if I'll be able to manage it with BBYO work as well.

In more music related news, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_XgQhMPeEQ is a pretty great song to sing a capella.

I'm exhausted from working on robotics for such long and intense hours, so I'm going to call this blog entry long enough and hit the hay to get ready for robotics starting early tomorrow morning (I have to get to school at 7 ). Because of my exhaustion, I also apologize if this is terribly written.
