Even after going throughseven different versions of it, Binghamwas still unsure as to how the projectwill end. Im just keeping the sourcecode open and posting it on my website, Bingham said. In addition to thegame engine, Bingham also spent histime developing his own operatingsystem, called ClusterOS, which wasable to boot up and say hello on itsown. However, his hobby could besomewhat risky. Theres a risk of over-clocking the CPU and turning off thefans. It corrupts your system, and I didit about four different times over thesummer. -ELIZA WILLIAMSScapegoatbyWhitechapel—sophomoreJustin SaucierKyle Bristol, 12Since his sophomore year at South, senior Kyle Bristol had been involvedwith the robotics club.
