Engineer on team #237, sie h2o bots, from Watertown high school ct and sieman co.

Well. we went, we saw, we were demolished....... but were coming back. To all the teams that we let down at the UTC Regionals we would like to apologise. We thought we had the greatest design idea for a robot and we did our best but it was soon apparent that we were in trouble.
We were drawn 47th out of 51at the start and actualy made it to 1st place by our 3rd game but things went to hell from that game on. we were more of a hinderence to teams than a help and for that were sorry. We have made some dramatic changes in two days and our 19' 6" robot has been trimed down to just 30" ????
We are a wedge that can manipulate the ramp up and down faster than any robot seen in Hartford, we can now pull and push a goal up and over the ramp in 48 seconds and if your robot falls over we can right you or push you over the line.
We can pull the streacher with a full size bot over the ramp as if it wasnt even there. all this was done by hacking off all the extra garbage from our bot, in fact we had to add 30 lbs to keep the wheels on the floor, so to all who we let down on Hartford be assured that we are again a contender in the nationals and that we can guarantee you a GREAT robot alliance and we will not let any team down.
WERE BACK.
WERE BETTER.
WERE BADDDDDDDD.
Coming to a Florida Nationals near you soon.
