Oh man.
I think that's the match where they took on both our robots. I couldn't drive X-WhAAt!!! for squat and the tetra kept getting stuck on the arm. But it wa alot of fun.
I particularly liked the Eric on a Segway vs. 229 Match.
Maybe next year Greg can bring his battlebot and we can have a 6 on 1 match. It would be interesting.

I'm guessing (I don't know but I can make an educated guess) that it has been hit by many robots over several years, plus maybe the occaisional bit of hanling damage. Looks kind of like our wedges this year when we were done--lots of scrapes and scratches, but no breaks.

I didn't know 229 took on both X-Cat robots - I thought only 1213 took them on - Sorry I missed that - How'd it turn out?

They won as well the first time. I think the second time when Corey from 173 took over driving one of the bots and was much more aggresive they won.

Mentor Matches at offseason events are a lot of fun, it really gives a chance for the mentors to see what the student drivers go through in a match and really shows why us drivers couldn't do this or that easily during a match. I hope all the mentors had a blast driving, I know they did at Capital Clash.

Joel actually didn't go down with us to this event.

And yes the 2 X-Cats machines did beat 229 once.

Actually those are all from this year, as FIRST replaces all the plexi every year. My guess is there is more scratching this year because of all the action right in front of the player stations trying to cap those goals.
