Yeah, if you looked at us after that match, we were NOT happy, but whatever. I was impressed by your robot, too. It gets a good grip on the big ball, which even many veteran teams do not do.

Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

ya i agree, that was the bot that could gather the balls on the inside and feed it through the chute?

talk about creativity, even though im very optimistic about my team, i think killer beez gonna win it all

Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

My team was SOO upset on our last match. We went to pick up one of the multiplier balls, and we stalled out our motors. after a few seconds, our robot was doing a wheelie. Arearm was lifing our robot, and NOT THE BALL. at the end of the match, i went to get the ball out myself, the mobile goal lifted off the ground before the ball came out. It was SOO far down in there at the start of the match, and our robot got stuck on the dang thing. it was rediculous. Not much you can do tho, just make sure you look at it before you start i guess.

honestly for us, none of are things worked :S only thing that works is the new drive train that is faster and stronger, are arm cant hook to the bar and we haent even been able to pick up any balls :S yet we still are 4th b/c we were able to do some blocking and our human player made some nice shots and of course our alliances! thanks guys

Hey 33 can you guys hang?!?!? in the mock match i saw your team get to the top of the platform and looked like you were going to hang.

Do you have a digital video camera? I know it's possible to record from a digital camera from a VCR, so I'm guessing you could probably also record from a VCR to a digital camera, and from there to your computer via Windows Movie Maker <shudder>. You'd have to look at the instructions for your particular model.

We have the arm, winch, and stepping chassis, but not the weight right now. We even have the beginnings of a hook delivery system if you look at the back corner of the bot, but for now it's just a de-capper. Hopefully, we can take 5 lbs off in Canada and have it on by nationals, but for now, no, we can't hang. We only play defense on the steps.
