A new layer, not just paint

We have a new blog editor, and how I got to the paint store a little bit too late.
I did however get some cool stickers in a giveaway from Raspberry pi foundation, I now have a counter-statement to my windows XP statement.

New Paint

The hazardous material challenge is quite difficult this year, if you are in intermediate team. It wants a bright red and green set of painted drums to be collected separately, and for the robot to just solve the puzzle on it's own with no human help. So off to the paint store, but not the hobby store, since I did not want to buy small pots. Sadly the smallest pots you can buy of coloured paint is 1 litre, so I am starting with samplers first in order to get the correct tone in a cheaper paint. If, it works out to be close enough, I'll share the paint maker and shade.

New Words

My word skills are at best dismal. At best I am known for being persistent, at worst, inaccurate and lacking in the grammar and tone department. So Eden will find it easy to make a big difference to this blog stream I hope. Eden is not only better at words, but also better at the design and graphical component of the project, which I am sure we are going to blow away the audience with. I look forward to getting a break from adding an article each week.

Finally a teaser clip. Not of our robot, but of a Boston Dynamics build, the most awesome robot building team. Watch till the end, and then leave a comment as to how long it was before you...
