I was just happy to see IceWm in a slashdot headline. It's a great little WM that doesn't always get the attention from users it deserves.

Hi, My roommate is on the NCSU team, and I can shed some light on their status at the competition. From my understanding the NCSU's team could do most everything the competition needed. It had acoustics, image detection, the works. Their thrusters however stopped working at the last moment. It worked fine up until the point where they put it in the water for the qualifying round. When it was put in the water, the thrusters failed and nothing happened. They only got back yesterday and are not completely sure what happened, but they believe it had something to do with water in the pool getting into their cables. They had tested extensively in chlorinated pools, but not in the fresh water stuff that they encountered at the competition. My roommate was actually disappointed at all the entries and the competition itself. None did all that well from what it sounded like, and according to him at least one of the teams that came without a robot scored higher than they did!
