We sorted out our battery issues for our second game and managed to score two very nice and deliberate goals. Still improving for our second two games today!

Getting Fire(fly)d Up!
The crew of Serenity will take the field together for the first time on Saturday. They seem pretty excited.
Updates!
Someone (aka Professor Chown) noted that the blog has been pretty empty lately. Here’s what we’ve been doing:
1. New robots! Our newest teammates are Nao H25s with working hands! Now that we also have Kaylee, Inara, Vera, and Simon, we have almost all of Serenity’s crew on our team.
2. New goals! The league rules changed, so our goals for this year look like…
They’re bigger than last year’s goals and now have black nets, which is great for vision. Also, these nets won’t get tangled on lost robots who want to hang out in the goal. The field itself will be much bigger as well, with five robots per team.
3. New code architecture! Well, almost. Our message passing architecture is still a work in progress, but we’ll have it up and running for the US Open:
The US Open starts Friday, April 19th here at Bowdoin. We’re pretty excited to finally try out all of our new things.
New Robots Christened
Meet (from right) Zoe, River, Jayne, Mal, and Wash! They’re joining Annika, Dax, Scotty and Data (in jerseys) as the newest members of the Northern Bites.
One Small Step…
We’re in the middle of borrowing a new walk, and Dax is not sure she likes it.
