Lots of biking....

Funny - a year ago I see the same complaint REALLY achey after a Habitat day. But biking every day of the week otherwise....

Like since forever...

Nothing much to write. Okay - here is something to think about:

http://www.landerchallenge.com.

Some discussion with friends/colleagues regarding the project. I'm thinking zip-zap type cars for the "rover".
The trick is meeting the criteria of

1) 185 feet altitude

2) navigating to 100 feet from launch area.

Stats I find for the zip-zap suggest it can hold a charge for 5 minutes, and go... 45 feet. So the landing has to be in a 45 foot radius from the target. Not impossible, but tricky.
