A recent decision to throw a few more radars on the back of the car has now foiled our naming convention... who would've thought? We used to have radars A through G around the front and sides of the car, which put us in a pickle when we wanted to add two more to the back. I suggested calling one H and the other -A or -B, just for kicks. Somehow that didn't fly, so we ended up naming the new duo Y and Z, but of course not in an order that preserves the oh-so-intuitive counter-clockwise naming convention that we'd set up before. The fun continues, though, because one of the radars in the back is mounted upside down, which means it needs to get transformed before its measurements are added into the system. I'm giving about 10:1 odds that we make a sign mistake in there somewhere- any takers?
Also, we seem to have acquired a new unofficial corporate sponsor:
...the sad part is, at least half of these (if not more) were drunk by one person. I'm told he sweats Mountain Dew.

Sounds like it's a good thing we had extra space in the micro rack!
