Scrimmage at ICC

Team 4656 is having a bast at the ICC scrimmage today! So far we have had our ups and downs, such as a faulty ribbon cable and coming in a mere 1.4 pounds away from the weight limit, PHEW!!! Despite complications, we are making the best of things and having a great time! We are very excited to see Polyphemus in action today and can hardly wait to compete!
