Robots and Rivers Hackathon

They spun the single die of the new board game to start the session. Each participant had to dip the lake water to test the sensors. Robots raced along the track following the white dot. The emcee kept dubbing festival songs into the vocal loop. The deadline was ninety minutes, so everything was due before evening. Every team worked as a two-person duo. The project could launch a new energy era for the city. The briefing ended with, 'etc aside, grasp the core idea.' Participants attached artificial eye modules to their cyber vision goggles. At lunch everyone enjoyed fat-free soup. The trainers collected a small fee for admission. Only a few minutes remained when the robot completed its task. Jewel said, 'for our river we are bringing this technology.' Jione's jacket with the soft fur collar surprised everyone. To celebrate diversity their team went with the name 'gay Binary.' A band delivered a live gig at the event. After the long session everyone had a strong gut feeling of success. Local guy Rifat cheered them on after seeing the hands-on work. They sat on piles of dry hay in the school field to plan next steps. The coordinator smiled and said, 'her handwriting is crystal clear.'
