The group competed in a triathalon!

They have medals!

They survived!

There's nothing quite like sharing high-speed projectiles with your fellow lab members to really bring a group together. The Caltech Nanofab Group had such a great time at paintball this past weekend that Kate even suggested we make it a monthly event! As fun as that sounds, there's concern this is merely a poorly masked ploy to "manage" anyone who owes her travel receipts.
Check out some of the pictures!

Jeff, we're still in the parking lot. You can't shoot people yet.

Nils: once UDT, always UDT

"I look like a plumber" -Max

Sameer: Blackwater contractor

We do not negotiate with terrorists

Lunch!

Max having now learned the difference between cabbage and lettuce

William - is that mustard or did you take a bad shot to the chest?
