YOU HAD IGUS PILLOW BLOCKS!!!! :eek:

that was the part that broke on our bot in the finals. for the next three matches we had 3 wheel drive. and during or after every match we would have to pick up our missing wheel. fortunantly we were still able to get up the ramp with three wheels

Does anybody remember which match got all 6 on the platform? I seem to recall it was early on Saturday, but cannot find the correct movie at soap.circuitrunners.com. It was not 59, 63, 64.

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional 6 on platform?
 

this years was our best ever, big thanks to team 34 for letting us share a bus with them, and teams 68 & 180 for choosing us to go to the finals with them, didn't make it past the semi-finals, but hey, we have never been that far, so it was still an overwhelming experience

SEE YOU ALL IN 2007!!

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional 6 on platform?
 

You can also scratch 56, 61, and 67 from that list. (My notes indicate those were 1293's matches, and we didn't climb the ramp.)

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional
 

is there another place to download the palmetto videos? the ones on soap dont work on this school computer.

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional 6 on platform?
 

And scratch any match with Team 95, we didn't try to climb the ramp at Palmetto (it was better for us to stay at the far end and continue to pile balls in the 3 point goal).

Those pillow blocks are awesome, but not great for DT purposes. We used ours to support the bracket on our throwing arms.

They only have some of the practice matches, and as luck would have it none of the grasshopper's. Which is greatly unfortunate as I wanted to see/show people those as our autonomous mode never worked again like it did on thursday....

This is what most impressed me. Kudos to the excellent scouting.

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional
 

Yup yup. This was certialy our best year. I big thanks to teams 34, 68, and 180! We really enjoyed this year. One of my favorite thing said to us while there by another team "You übergeeks have been pushing us around all weekend, I think you deserve a button." (a mentor from team 343) For anyone that saw the webcat or was there, you know exactly what he meant. Our robot didnt work as expected when we got there so a few changes and we were sheer defense.

Well, This was a great year, good luck to all those that are in the finals in Atlanta! For the rest of you, See you in 2007!

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional
 

How very true. The first finals match, they were moderately effective - good enough to win it. The second finals match, they were absolutely devastating (in a nice way) to 1676's autonomous defense. No doubt, theirs was a critical contribution to the alliance. Well done!

I must say I was very proud of how our fellow Jersey team played. You guys had heart and spirit, and let's face it...was the only robot that ever effectively blocked us in autonomous mode!

Good luck in many amazing years to come!
