we alternate, we have 2 driving teams

driver #1 with operator #1
driver #2 with operator #2

Hey thanks for all the compliments guys!! I had a lot of fun driving, and i had a lot of fun working with 271, you guys were excellent!, in the one match that i lost while i was drving, you were able to pin me twice, i better not let that happen again, :) There was a lot of great competiton in the finals, especially from 61, and 190, two powerful robots, I wasn;t sure how we were going to win until 190's arm broke.

Can't wait to see everyone at WPI!!

Re: 121, another competition, another victory.
 

That's what I figured, but remember that the forums may be a person's only exposure to your team and what one person says can reflect on your team as a whole. So please watch what you say :)

Since Andy Baker is much better with words than I am, I'll refer you to one of his wonderful posts http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...&threadid=2779

95 wanted to go, but due to some confusion, someone decided we were not going. I'm very frustrated, because mayhem has become a favorite of mine and I had planned on going.

We also wanted to go to battlecry, but again, confusion lead to our coach not applying us even when we had an invite.

That only leaves River Rage, which hopefully 95 will be going to. Even if I have to steal and run the 'bot my self...

We changed our gear to go slower with more power and we went to far. We ended up breaking our tracks in the first match we went into. after that we were playing to not break. the power you saw was broken power. wait till WPI you will see us come alive again. We were sorry to break WPI robot. because we knew we could beat them when we are 100%. So becasue nobody else could move them we wanted to show that we could.

We will be ready for WPI. I hope that everybody brings spare parts. because this is our last competition and we will use everything up.

Yea, you guys (61) were amazingly powerful. In our first match in the quarters with you guys we could barley hold our goal while you were pulling it out. We spent over a minute in that tug-o-war and you had it out of the zone at one point but in the last second we pulled it back in. After that match our motors were fried. You must have seen us trying to cool it down with a vacuum which we switched the air flow and then we just brought our robot outside.

yea, 61, you were extremely strong. we melted 2 of our 4 drive motors in that tug of war. we had play the rest of the finals with only 2 motors. but we did move WPI, we practically pulled them over, they were up on their side. too bad we had to face them 3 times in qualifying, we lost all 3 times. they had a good robot. if you had that much power when you were broken, i hope we're not against you at battle cry!

to be honest with you, when we were teamed up for a qualifying match, someone on your team was telling me how powerfull you were. "we just sit there for the first minute, decide which goal(s) we are gonna steal, and then go take them" simple as that. i didn't believe it. and then you broke in that match, so entering the quarter finals i thought it would be easy, i was proved wrong, very wrong!

i'm so jealous...you guys get to attend all these post season competitions and i don't know of any around here :-(

Come to IRI
