Over the past couple days, Andrew and Matthew have been busy driving, testing, and troubleshooting the robot. They have removed the power diverter box which was causing several problems. We are going to try and compete without it, but if they make us use it, it has been fixed so it can be used again. Other than that, they have not had any more major problems with the robot.

The schedule for the Battle O'Baltimore is not as busy as it was for the nationals or regionals, but it is still kind of busy. Friday morning, Mr. Ballou would like to pack the cars so we could leave by noon. The schedule for the event on Friday is as follows:
