Armadillo suspense

According to space.com Pixel can be or has been repaired so that asecond flight is possible today.

It seems that the data about Pixel (and Texel too perhaps) can be used in what I am doing in the Financial Barriers section.

Thanx to all who tried to help me out yesterday, but I had to go to work, so I missed it anyway. However, today my media player has decided to miraculously work for some reason, so yay! Let's hope the 'dillos have some of the same luck.

Hoping the same I hope they can fly their second vehicle today as well.

Geez.. I hope it's on the pad.. and not with one leg outside of it... .. waiting for more news..

EDIT: Not one leg out of it.. all of them...

Looks like the bits in Pixel, Texel are are completely recyclable and they can transform into one another. Perhaps in another life they're called Yin and Yang and Yin now has bits of Yang in it. If they can only get the right balance

3rd time goodtime!, Goodluck Armadillo Can't wait till it's over

They did it!, I hope they can repair and fly back to pad 1

EDIT: and poff.. while attempting to fly back, Pixel crashed on its side..

I wonder if venting is going to be a problem.

Darn, that stinks! Good try(s), Armadillo!! I can't wait to see the videos + hear the "post-game carnage report," as it were.

Well looks like a rough day all around, I got to spend two and a half hours driving so I can get shot up by a bunch of paintball players who had trouble understanding that the guy in orange with a camera wasn't playing, then three hours of driving to get home. I was really hoping that Armadillo was going to take the prize but it looks like their day was a bit more stressful than mine.

I hope they put everything they pulled off of Texel back on and can fly tomorrow, even if it's just for a demo flight. Although I think they could pull off the Level 2 Challenge. If there's anyone out there that could put together a working rocket with the various dinged and disassembled rocket craft(s)/pieces, my money is most certainly on Armadillo.

I've been folowing your progress for several years, and I have to say I'm very impressed with what you did achive at the event. It's certainly a shame you missed the prize money, for the very reasons given, but its still very impressive.

I look forward to both the videos, and hearing your continued developments as they ocur, after your teams well earn break.

I read a report that stated that Pixel and Texel use WiFi for their telemetry/control systems.

If so, does anyone know if it was A,B or G?

Thanks,
