   Howdy, this is Grace, one of the members of nerdy and proud, (Well duh! or you might be wondering how or why I am posting to y'all) 
   This weekend the nerds are gathering and some serious stuffs about to go down... or up. On a space elevator. No, not a real one, but a recreation. It's our robotic helpers job to climb it... with the superb building and programing of the club. What can possibly go wrong in this competition? Its not like we are climbing a ribbon 20 feet in the air, with weights. Oh boy! Wish us luck! 

             Grace (me) goofs around.
