Day 52 - Pre-IC II

The Pitch

We kicked off the morning with the pre-IC pitch, as one of the first teams. It went smoothly. We managed to keep the presentation within the given time limit, covering everything we had planned. Moreover, the questions from the panel weren't as tough as we had feared; we managed to respond easily, and they seemed genuinely interested in our concept. However, their questions were more relaxed than expected for a potential green flag, leading me to believe that we will get another yellow flag. Very frustrating!

BSoD

Post-pitch, I intended to continue refining our homepage, making adjustments to support the validation work Kendal is doing. Then disaster struck: persistent BSoDs. I tried everything, but it looks like my motherboard is giving up. The only way to get my laptop functioning is by bending it back and forth until it powers on. Even then, it operates for only a brief period before crashing again. With no time or budget for a replacement, I'm not sure what to do. Time to get some rest and hopefully come up with a solution while sleeping.
