I am a Giant fan...

of great parties and winning lots of money. This weekend the Giants upset the Patriots' perfect record season by taking home the Super Bowl ring. We were in Boston staying with a friend who was throwing a Super Bowl bash to celebrate what seemed like a sure victory for the New England football franchise. Tough luck. The party was great, though, and we enjoyed being the oddball New York supporters in the room. When the game ended, I got a call from a New York friend who wanted to make sure I wasn't being gang-raped by our host and his posse, and that my new car with NY license plates wasn't being set on fire by rioting fans. To top of it all off, we won over $400 in a Super Bowl Squares pool - took half-time and 3rd quarter!
Meanwhile, the JeffTech Robotics team worked feverishly all weekend to get the robot base up and running. Mohammed (my programming partner) and I downloaded the program we wrote into the robot controller... and found a bug :)
In the following short video, you can see me using a joystick to move the robot. The kid that interjects a comment is Mohammed. He's a 16-year old senior originally from Bangladesh. Good times.
