Pretty much what we did was re-build our gear boxes. They kinda..er..broke at KSC (they actually used a drill bit to hold part of it together). Mainly the idea was to make it work just as well yet be much more durable. I assume they got it finished..did they?

Ooops, sorry about that. I didn't realize that your machine suffered damage and couldn't see it from the stands.

As one of Team 368's mentors, please accept our apologies about any damage that may have been sustained by your machine.

Please know that our operators do not intentionally try to damage our oponents. If memory serves me correctly, we were desperately trying to escape your teams clutches as your incredibly maneuverable machine pinned our robot and the goal we were towing to the rail. At this point your partner, Team 60 had beaten our alliance to the goals and as everyone knows, once Team 60 has both goals in the air, they are unstopable. The only chance of winning was to gain control of the last goal, collect balls and catapult them into the goal.

Unfortunately for us, your team was just too good and although we got one goal, you managed to pin us between the railing until our main breaker blew. It was a little disapointing to get stuck like that as we would have liked to go down in style collecting balls from the floor and tossing them in (We get a kick out of doing that! ).

Anyway, I'd just like to add that it was an honor for us to play against your alliance which I like to call the dream team (Team 64, 60 and 330!). Knowing that we tried our best against the top alliance at the regional made coming in second just fine (Were still Happy!).

Again, please accept our apologies. Perhaps some day we might end up playing on the same side with you.

Team 80 thank you very much for inviting us to join your alliance. We sure had a good time with you and team 399 as we all fought to get to the finals!

brake
 
we are modifing our break on ur robot, instead of rubber comming down, we are having a metal brush (or what ever the hell you call it. the one we have is almost identical to the beasts (though we did not build it to counter them) I think once we have this deployed, either you wont be able to move us (which was hard enough to do before) or we will get disqualified for ripping up the carpet. (lol)
