Note to self...if you carry the robot into your living room by yourself for some late night trouble shooting then you best be ready to carry it back out to the truck in the morning...and you may have to explain some collateral damage to the wife later on.

Lol, I spent a whole meeting one day trying to figure out why my new code didn't work, and it turned out i never built it before deploying... :P

In terms of dead jags, they seem to hate us this year. None of the older (greyish beige) ones work well. They freeze up randomly, only the new black ones work...

Heh... pneumatic cylinder flute... Our team encountered this distraction as well... At one point we had a group of 3 going at it, and it was actually kinda cool.

Looks like your bot turned out pretty well, and I commend you on keeping your team well motivated, managing to produce a cool video. PIRATES FTW!

but upon looking at your bot, the realization that our bumpers are WAYYYY too low to the ground hit me like a brick wall... We hadn't bothered to put the bumpers on until the last few minutes before bagging... I guess we'll have to change em at the comp.
