Happy Birthday Mike!!

[Bryan]

Happy Birthday to our favorite CS unix administrator (if that is what he does)!!

   

[Tyler]

Favorite is a strong word, mdd  :-P

[Bryan]

As far as I know he's the only unix admin Tyler ;-)

[William Grim]

Awww, you guys are so sweet!  

I didn't think anyone would mention it, haha.

Thanks much ;-)

[Ross Mead]

Haha!  As a present, I will be lenient in grading your final project!  Mike will be demonstrating his Urban Search & Rescue robot for the senior Robotics class at 3 today, and I invite you all to watch!  Good luck Mikey and happy birthday! :-D

[William Grim]

Surprisingly, that went better than I thought it would go!

And now I think I know why the robot was veering to the right a bit: I think I set the proportional constant on the PID controller a bit too high before the demostration.

If you thought you ruined my idea about robots, you didn't!  Ha ha!  *Competes for Ross with future job.*

Seriously though, I just didn't like THOSE robots.  16 KB of RAM is killer low.
