I'm pretty sure they've switched to a spinning wheel on a turret for their shooter. That's what it looked like at least.

WE BEAT SIMBOTICS! (we think) ... in a match that was then replayed due to apparent field failure. Then in the end of day rematch we were soundly trounced 39-0 :( Also, we had a lovely match where our driver ( ^^^^^^ ) scored 10 low balls on OURSELF, and the match ended up being lost by a margin of less than 10 points :(.

In other good news, our shooter is finally more useful than a plate of iron from the weight room, thanks to donations of roughtop from team 45.

Good job to everyone competing so far.

You used that plate of iron very effectively, though. Best of luck now that you're shooting again.

In a team update, 776 made it on the field, I think for their last match. 4 finally got their robot, but there are rumors that it was ripped up by customs (they had their drivetrain & electronics board all pulled apart near the end of the day). I cant confirm those for sure, but I have seen their big black tower of a robot.

The matches today were quite impressive :) But someone needs to get JVN a segway! And oh yeah, Ricky, my field still rocks yours ;-)

Yes, the real robot made it and we hope to get it on the field today (Saturday). Our drive team is anxious to get back in high gear!!

The "One Day Wonder" was made possible by contributions from many teams at the GTR. Teams 45, 48, 188, 217, 1310, 1379 provided substantial amounts of components and labor. Special thanks to the Thunder Chickens for assembly of the electronics board and design advice. The machine shop folks provided terrific support. Bill Thorne (886) took this mentor shopping locally to find some components we couldn't find in the pits. There were many, many others that showed the true spirit of Gracious Professionalism with their offers of help - this is what really makes FIRST great!!

A highlight for our team today was when Woodie Flowers autographed (and kissed) our "newborn" robot after one of our matches. Fortunately, there was a photographer nearby, so we will have some lasting images.

During the awards ceremony, I was near the machine shop when I heard Karthik say something he had said to our team after one of our afternoon matches: "Every regional has it's own unique story..." That was my cue to get our skeleton crew working on our "real robot" out of the pits to join the rest of our team in accepting the Judges Award. In our minds, that Award is shared by the outstanding people who make FIRST such a special experience for students and mentors alike.

Our students (and others) learned a valuable lesson at GTR in what can be accomplished with teamwork and some persistence.

Thank you, FIRST!

Hmmm, low volume eh. Sorry. I'll make sure I pump up the volume a bit today ;). (Re: webcast volume).

Update: Volume is all the way up for now but if I notice the mixer bars going into the yellow and red again i'll have to lower it. It was pretty high yesterday so i'm a little confused why it would have outputed to you guys at such a low volume. Oh well we'll see in a few minutes...

So for the 2nd day in a row I can't get my computer to recognize that the webcast is running. I get "Cannot find the specified file"

I thought it was just network security at work yesterday, but I guess not. Too bad, I would really like to watch this event...I guess I can just keep trying.

[EDIT]Tom's link works! W00t![/EDIT]

I can't get it running either. I tried Palmetto and that's working fine, so I don't think it's my network blocking out the webcast.

Palmetto is working great for me as well...I guess we will have to rely on the FIRST website for updated on GTR
