Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition
krugg234 writes "Today [ed. note: well, a few days ago] marks the start of the Fifth Annual International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition. This year's competition involves completely autonomous robots locating and reading bar codes at various depths underwater at a naval base in San Diego. There are some good links on the site to individual competitors' websites to see how different schools tackled the same problem."
Can i PLEASE be first post? I just came home, and saw no posts, so let me be it! Thanks!
Isn't that kinda lame for a First Post?? I've never tried for first post myself, but after reading quite a few of them, it appears that a good First Post involves being very confident, arrogant, and degrading to those other contenders who failed to achieve the desired spot. You don't go telling everyone about how you stumbled into first postness, and you certainly don't go around asking "PLEASE"! You have to spout an (occasionally) clever insult (use of bad puns heavily encouraged) to all the bitches who didn't get first post, and then another little statement pimpin your own skills.
Ladies like confidence, and so do first posters. Another couple weak shows like that is liable to get you an ass kickin in the middle school locker room... (and yes, they DO know who you are...). Please keep this in mind when attempting future First Posts, for your own safety. Thank you and good day.

Wonder if it'll let me catch div by zero or if it'll just crash my battleship.
