Varazdin day 2

Nah, I did not get up at half past four. But I woke up shortly and had to take a picture of this sunken landscape.

Who always gets up early is Matthias. He makes a super great breakfast for us every morning. Even small cut apples are not missing. What service!!!

Daily routine sets in. Get up, go to the table, have breakfast table, have breakfast, pack up, start driving. Up hill, down hill and then always straight ahead.

In front of the "arena" there is the possibility to shoot photos with background AND foreground. Pose for the audience.

Unpack. Volunteers going to the Maze arenas, setting up BioBrause at their table. Watching the competition, hoping, trembling, suppressing cheers. Well, the first run this morning, shock let up! (Probably Moritz didn't calibrate properly or timer 0 had an overflow. Huh? Well, it can only count to 255. The value for the checkpoint was probably greater than or equal to 256.) In any case, the robot saw red at the checkpoint and dropped rescue kits. Oh dear. But they were enough for the red crosses.

See for yourself: Run 2

The fright sat. The next calibration with more time and still this and that optimized. The result is a run 3 with felt 112%. Better is not possible.

After three runs with full points, place one. Please keep your fingers crossed.

Results can be found here.

Ben's video will be back, of course. Now

Oh yes: On top of that Matthias is cooking dinner. E.g. right now, while I am writing this article. The youth is always responsible for the salad preparations.
