Mount Coot-tha

Did a few different things today. Dad is up for a week or so. In the morning we went to Mount Coot-tha - a prominent feature of the Brisbane skyline. Initially we went to the lookout / summit area - nice views - as expected. Then went on the "J C Slaughter" track - and the Aboriginal art loop - a total of about 5 km. It was a pretty good, easy and fairly scenic walk.

In the early afternoon I finished my hack-job on my entries to yet another "Tiny" Robotbattle contest. This event ("TinyRadio") was a radio event (but with no formal teams), where the final score was calculated from the raw score and the size of the robot. I've only put in a little amount of time on my entrants: and have a few unimplemented alternative (better?) strategies. Ah well. Also, I'm not certain that I got my entries in on time... Ooops. So we'll see what happens.

Afterwards there was the usual dog walk around the local park. Red is taking to his new "Kong" (the old one ended in multiple pieces...).
