Would you date a friendly robot pony? As in they are good-natured and caring, and have great compassion toward living things. It might be possible one day. Who knows?

Recently, alert reader JFalk asked about the timeline/timeframe of events in the story so far. So, here's a brief little morning post to discuss it!

Keep in mind, if you are NOT caught up on the story, there will be spoilers about events. If you're caught up to the most recent chapter, "Rhinestone Eyes, Part 1," then you're safe.

OUR TEAM ALLIANCE WON THE 5TH QUALIFICATION ROUND BY 1 POINT.

WOO! TEAM 4598!

This Saturday marks the kickoff event of the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), and the reveal of this year's game topic.

It's also the beginning of build season.

Prepare for another flood of blogs once the competitions begin.

We were literally one part away from finishing the robot for this Saturday's AMES competition, but then what happens?

Turns out nobody bothered to look at the datasheets for the two motors used for the ball launcher, and we ended up pushing 40 amps through a motor designed to start at 1.8 amps , with around 12 amps at tops.

Commence magical purple smoke of death and two fried motors.

It only took a doubled amount of time of working on it as well as lifting heavy metal parts everywhere, but the robot is fixed up and ready for the competition tomorrow.

As for now, my feet hurt. Badly.

A class scene.

Had a slow hour today, and realized there's a subject I've yet to breach outside Sufficiently Advanced itself. And even then, only in subtext so far.

The robots coming for our jobs.

Oh, and on a minor but important note: SA might be getting a restructuring soon to make the horrible current description go away in a satisfying manner.

Tune in to Skirts' YouTube Channel for funs and extra funsies! Come listen to the Lemur Supreme and his stalker-turned-pal chat about... your questions and stuff. Starting at 9pm EST!

If you guys like it, we'll do more. Thanks, Wonderfolk! See you soon!

'Cause I've got a robotics end-of-year banquet to put together a highlights reel for. Stabilizing a shaky phone-recorded video isn't fun in any way.

We just did our last qualifying match. Not the last one of the competition, but the latest one for our team.

Short to say, we're top ten again!

TEAM 4598!

Well, this is weird.

Comic on Channelate by Ryan Hudson. Beep.

Anyway, "The Iron Horse" will update Sunday. And you just might get another chapter hot on its heels!

Now that Blizzard has revealed that Tracer is gay, it's your turn, Respawn.

Which titan is binary?

Wanted to post this after checking in here and noticing the above series has found its way into a few collections that have been labelled as variations on 'dead series'. I accept full blame for folk thinking that, but if it matters at this point, I'm not giving up on my Spike x Sweetie Bot scenario just yet. It's just fallen by the wayside as attention has naturally gravitated towards 'Scaleless' and me being the diehard Soulsborne fan I am, my motivation has been to keep that series momentum

looking for stories where the main character is a robot. I've been aware of this whole "sweetie belle is a robot" fanfic idea thing, but I've no clue how or when it came about or why. regardless of my ignorance, I'd like to know if there are any stories out there you guys would recommend. it can be any character, but if you know a good sweetie bell bot story that is positively rated i'll give it a try ^^

a note I prefer LONG stories. not one shots.
