Well, just as we were starting to make progress, beaurocracy struck again. It turns out, you can only have tools that are etched indicating their owner in the test area. So we got an etcher, but nobody told us what we were actually supposed to etch in our tools to make them legit which means we can't use tools in the test area until this happens, but nobody can tell us what to etch, so we just sit and wait basically. So our cameras were mounted on these cherry pickers so I had this idea. I asked the guy, so can we just move the cherry picker outside of the test area (literally like 10 feet) and then I can use any tool I want? "Well...sure, I guess." So that's what we did. We drove that thing 10 feet and then I could use any tool I wanted. Ha ha! Beaurocracy may be a huge beast at times, but it sure doesn't move very fast. It was really easy to get around that one. I get to go home tomorrow, yes!
