Traveling

It's quite cramped in this trailor again, but at least I'm not by myself! I'm back with my buddies from Rose Hulman and Texas Tech. I'll be dropped off second, so I feel sorry that Texas Tech will have to go the rest of the way all alone!

Moving on Up

After my students left me in Detroit, I had fun exploring the Milford Prooving Grounds with my other Equinox buddies. A few of the us got the star treatment from our friends at GM. Those guys were constantly running tests, and exploring why some of us ran how we did. I think I'm due homeward bound in a few days, and should be reunited with my students sometime in July. I have a feeling that they are going to disassemble me again.

I got 8th place overall in the competition this year! It was the same place as last year, but I feel this level of 8th place is much higher than last year's in Mesa. This year, we got first place in the Controls award! That's a step up from last year's 3rd! It feels good to win somethings!

Yikes!

My buddy from Texas Tech got really sick today. He was leaking hydrogen everywhere, and the hydrogen pits had to be evacuated. It was not nearly as scary as when my friend from Waterloo fell off the lift, and disapeered for a few days...Things are always interesting up here in Milford.

Exile

My students are here today! It's so great to see them all here. I'm alone with only 3 other of my buddies from Waterloo, Penn State and Texas Tech are outside working in the hydrogen pits, so I don't get to be as social as I'd like.
