It certainly was the most exciting robot project which we participated in.

Many thanks:
1. to the organizers : Dr. Eric Wang and his team at Nevada University. Great
job guys !!!
2. to the sponsors : Nevada Space Grant, LEGO Company, Energizer, National
Instruments
3. to the contributors :
* all the teams, although, honestly, I love most the FLL's contribution -under
the guidance of David Levy- and ex aequo the 4th grades' marshmallows under the
supervision of Barbara Bratzel and Chris Rogers. These kids leave us adults
ashamed.
* Brian Davis's freefall robot and Gypsy prove reliability and hopefully will
deliver lots of good pictures
* Eugene Tsai's Brix-Catcher : wow !
* Jurgen Leitner and David Leal Martinez' REEL-E : this is real research ! But
please explain the name.
* The LEGO Mindstorms mysterious payload leaves us under suspens.
* Finally our own team: thanks to Francis Massen, Jean Mootz and Jean-Claude
Krack, the LCD students and the Convict robotics group: now let's hope we get
valuable data. (http://www.convict.lu/htm/rob/hale2.htm and

OK, I'm a little bit proud of this... and, mostly, amazed that it functioned at all. I was selected to participate in the HALE (High Altitude LEGO Extravaganza) after submitted two proposals in the hopes one would make it... and instead, both were (...)
