Somewhat blurry still photo of three micro drones exiting "The Rapids" at yesterday's YDSC/CDSC IRL Race.

Squirkit's blue drone and ShyDragon's pink drone are exiting above while Eclipse's purple drone is still inside. The very shiny floor is also quite smooth, making turtling challenging.

A very nice visual explanation of how the design of train wheels keeps a train on its tracks.

“The design of train wheels is genius. If we have a train track with a slight curve, and we try to roll some basic wheels across it, we'll simply derail. … So how exactly can we solve the issue of a train negotiating a turn?”

I attended my first Festival of Nations with my high school German language class in the early 1980s. I brought my own child to the event many, many times. (One advantage of homeschooling is you can choose to make more time for awesome field trips.)

I confess that I mostly went for the awesome food!
