Anniversary Build Day

Terrific time having all the builders together and seeing the progress of their droids!

We took a day off from building to participate in Omaha's St. Patrick's Day Parade

A very cold night, for drilling pivot holes.
Patches was gracious enough to to lend a leg so we could know where to drill.
