So. Micro$oft wants to take the trophy!

Too bad we took the jeep apart. It would have been a good starting place.

To compete with Microsoft? Thats a pretty big challenge. We could probably put something together. I would totally be in on it 100%. Sounds incredibly fun!

Hello Team!

Jim, one of the founders of the Power Racing series called me late
this weekend and brought up a challenge… Build a self driving
power wheels car to complete with Microsoft! He told me that
Microsoft was going to bring a self driving power wheels car to
Maker Faire New York.

What do you think? Do we have the skills to kick Microsoft’s ass?

He was hoping to get a response by today but I told him that
wasn’t a possibility. I’m hoping to schedule some time for a
meeting at the shop within the next day or two. What do you think?
