Segunda División B

Tercera División

gollark: For some reason our teacher hailed it as the best thing ever or something...

gollark: My pair decided to make a device which would:* display text sent over serial* make a nice beepy noise when a thing was sentand write a program on a Pi connected to it which would download an RSS feed and send the latest feed item constantly.

gollark: For some stupid reason we were meant to make some random useless project with a box of stuff (motor, LCD, LEDs, a few sensors).

gollark: Oh, those things, I used one one time.

gollark: Ah, but yours would be fancy and on a screen, which as we know is always better.
