Our little builders group turns one this year so most of the builders met at a fellow builder's house today to celebrate and do a little building. The builders in attendance were Clay Cardwell, Brad "KITT" Edmonds, Jason "Dash" Neurath, Steve Schmitz, Eric "Talon" Culp, and yours truely. Today was the best weather day of the year. Pleasently warm in the sun and no wind to speak of. The crew got there around 9:30 AM to help empty out the barn and cleanup. I brought my tailgating table and chairs and it wasn't long before we had the barn and the whole yard setup for the party.
Brad's wife Serena made a couple of cakes. It was very cool to have an R2 cake for our birthday. Thank you Serena!
A couple of platforms for the pumpkin patch event last fall and they came in very handy today. Everyone put what they had in the way of built and in-process R2s on the platforms in the yard to show off what we have done to everyone in the group and various visitors we had throughout the day.
It has been awhile since such a large group got together; so once everything was setup, we took a little time to catch up.
I grilled burgers and hotdogs and the whole crew sat down for a lunch break.
One of visitors was Allison Pappas from the CREATE Foundation. Our builders club will have a booth at the Civic Auditorium next weekend for the Robotics Championship Of The Americas and she wanted to meet our club members and work out details of our appearance in a couple of weeks.
As the builders worked inside the barn. The R2 Builders' Widows sat in the sun and enjoyed the weather.
In the afternoon, a reporter for the Bellevue Leader stopped by to see what we have been doing over the last year and to take pictures.
