Rose-Hulman SRC

Fantastic experience: Get place for Rose-Hulman students (not open to the public btw)

Fantastic experience: Son attended summer catapult program and loved it.

Positive experience: Damn good food

Positive experience: amazing facility for a state robotics competition, but there were a few frustrating things. accessibility was a problem because of the way the main floor was blocked off for team/robot traffic only, the elevator wouldn't work when we pushed the button, and there were lots of stairs to go up and down to get from one side of the bleachers to the other. I felt bad for our friend who has had a hip replacement, it was already a lot to ask him to drive all the way to terre haute to watch the competition, and when he finally got there and found us it was a lot of up and down stairs and noise. so much noise. the lighting on the ceiling made it really difficult for our team's robot to locate the goal for scoring because the circle flourescent lights were distracting the sensors. sound system was hard to understand but that's pretty typical with such a large crowd and I don't know if the microphones belonged to first Robotics or rose Hulman. the women's bathroom with a couch at the top of the bleachers was my favorite hang out spot. it was right by all the action, so we could check on the matches, but then go someplace quiet for a few minutes. it was calm and quiet in there and it was our cozy secret hiding spot.

Fantastic experience: Really nice facility with natural light. Nice people and great hosts for the state robotics tourney
