Re: UTC Regional Updates
 
What a wonderfull day, our robot is 100% fuctional with a 95% functional great autonomus mode and a 100% function ok autonomous mode, we actually attended all of our practice matches and 2 or 3 extra. Our aliance partners were all wonderfull and i just cant wait for qualifying matches toamrow, The only downafall of the day was that we blew out 1 atwood motor but we swtiched it out at the end of the day ! so super fun, happy time to all of you and cant wait to see you all tomarow !! Good Luck, and stop by 521's PIT for some of the cool pens ...

Did you miss the Bob cats? They caught the balls everytime dropping from the ball chute. Its not just a giant ball cather, of course it misses some, but it still caught alot of them. One question to you guys. Why did it keep getting stuck?

Bobcats came and stole our balldrop...thats right...OUR ball drop...great strategy...but do they have the power to avoid other bos pushing them out of the way and missing the drop? (dun dun dun)

Home at last home at last thank you I am home at last!!!! But luckily I'll be back at UTC in less then 10 hours. Any ways it was great day with some splendid competition, as John (Xufer) said we are fine and up and running with that brand spankin' (Wink-wink inside joke) new Atwood motor, and in the last 3-4 matches we really seemed to be able to get our startegy and game plan screwed down tight both pre, and post game, as wells as on and off the field. OH, and yes the pens/keychains are ihgty spify it I might say so myself and yeah at least it goes to proobve that HP is good for something beisdes being TOO strong (nudge-nudge)

Yea our hp is too "strong" to get balls in the goal thats right infront of him thats his problem, if anyone wants to hit our hp tomarrow please feel free you have MY permission, and im uhh the permission giving guy thing ! so hit away, untill he makes 100% of his shotsinstead of 90% haha !! although our handshake accuracy is improving to a good 97% !

Sitting here in the stands... we are in section 221 and 222...stop by and say hi if your here. Just look for the Team 195 cheering sticks. I'll try and keep the rest of the CD community updated with some pictures throughout the day. (Thanks to team 782 for the wireless internet)

Thanks for the updates... keep 'em coming. I am especially interested in seeing how team 1059 is doing (among others). They have a sweet set of gearboxes, looking oddly familiar to our team's current model. :)
