Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
After the Memorial Parade some 177 kids just had, this is the highlight of my day. Did u fire candy out the shooter?
|
Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
nope but we did shoot lots of balls, haha. another great showing at the parade.

How many battery switches did you have to make? Our parade is rather long, and I bet we'd have to switch it out at least three or four times.

Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
we only went through 2 bats (over a mile), and over-heated the window motor....stupid window motor. everything else went wonderfully

Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
Did you ever hit anyone in the crowd wearing a neon green shirt?

We had a Segway in our parade too! Ours however, was being ridden by a vet who had on a neck brace and didn't look like he could walk too well... Very cool though

Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
a bit random, but it does have to do with engineering.
Two A-10s flew over head!!! That was so sweet! I was marching as a GS with flag, and I just had to slow down. They were ridiculously low. Did they fly over any other CT parades? |
Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
I think I see an American flag on the robot where the blue or red alliance flag would normally be. It's great (especially on Memorial Day) to proudly recognize being part of the USA.

Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
Haha yes another great showing at the parade. We do indeed have an American flag where our alliance flag would normally go. And to answer Daisys question, 2 A-10s also flew very low over our parade route right when it began, like they do every year. Such a wonderful sight. The robot performed well. Now it is doing some resting before we do a tire change and some fixes before we pull it back out for BC7.

So, have any teams shot candy out of their shooters? I was wondering how to best do that a few weeks ago, but didn't think it'd be too feasible for any distance. |

No candy shooting or throwing allowed in 237 land :(

We also marched and... of course. It sucked. There's a little memorial at the cemetery and we march to it and stay there and stuff. I passed out last year because of the uniforms. I was fine this year, but still... I don't know how well it would work if our robot was driving the parade. There's quite the up-hill that it would have to travel. It has no problem getting up a 1 foot ramp, but a 40-50 foot slope might be a little difficult. |

The parade was fun as always, and everyone had a good time. Special thanks to Marc from Team 38 for making a guest appearance on his Segway yet again this year. |

I knew they flew over my town (although, I don't think they ever flew them this low; maybe 500 feet, usually it is a LOT higher; or maybe I was just shorter (I know, I know, how much shorter can I get??)), but we're just not that special ;). Well, we aren't. Pretty sight, let me tell you. Thanks for the info. |
Re: pic: Team 237 Memorial Day Parade
our team was able to get in our hometown, Allentown NJ, parade. I was lucky enough to get to drive the robot the whole way. it was like 1/2 hour long and we only used one battery. of course, all we were doing was driving, nothing fancy. Anyway, it was pretty cool. :)
