False Robotics had an awesome day at the FLL Vancouver Island Regional Tournament, placing 2nd in the Robotics Performance portion of the competition. They also did an amazing job in the teamwork challenge, considering there were 12 participants ranging in age from 8 to 12. Great job guys!

FLL Robotics Tournament
Well, the weekend is here. Team False Robotics will be heading off to the regional tournament this weekend. Today we're running a mock tourney at the school, followed by a t-shirt making extravaganza. Then off on the 4pm ferry tomorrow for an awesome road trip! 12 kids and 7 adults. Going to be mayhem!
SIGCSE poster accepted!
Found out the the poster I proposed for SIGCSE '10 was accepted. Guess I'm going to Milwaukee in March. Beer and polkas and CS Ed. Woo Hoo.
