I recommend the Michigan Smoke if you want something savory and aren't in the mood for eggs. Mildly spicy and I thought it was delicious.

Busy week here! Presented a paper at @SAEIntl WCX yesterday, submitted a paper draft today to the Modeling, Estimation and Control Conference (MECC). Of course, just a few minutes after I got the paper submitted, a deadline extension came through. 😀

The LilyBots ride again! Just finished doing an outreach activity with almost 20 pre-college students, using robots designed by @DrCABerry. Too busy helping the students to get pictures unfortunately but it was crazy & fun with all of them spinning and turning all over the place.
