The UE1 is executing code, but more importantly, it’s making noise! We got through all sorts of trials and tribulation in this episode, but we get something pretty exiting happening by the end. I mean, the title of the video is a pretty dead giveaway, but I don’t want to spoil too much, just check it out!
