I was about to download my footage to my computer but my mom apparently left my cord at her work or in someone else's car... I might as well go blow the $40 on a new one... I'll never get it.

Our ramp dilemma had two key problems:

1) Our omni wheels had little to no traction. Two of them were also bent slightly, but we're fixing that now as well.

2) Due to the mechanical reality of the robot, our normal program designed to drive 'straight' usually made Lola veer to the side or spin a little, if you noticed during some of our earlier autonomous modes. You might have noticed the paper 'hubcaps' with black and white slices of color on our wheels. Those, in combination with sensors which read the rate at which the wheel rotated via the rate at which the black and white slices went past the sensor. We added a program that would cause the motors to 'auto adjust' to the rate of rotation of the other wheels to allow Lola to drive straight.
It didn't work out as well as we wished, since we had to ship the robot before we could finalize the testing.

We're fixing the program right now, and we're keeping skateboard tape for any ramp bots that may alliance with us, so hopefully that'll aid us a bit!

The Blue Alliance has video from the the finals matches, but nothing else from the regional.

FYI, I finished the rest of the Midwest match videos and uploaded them to our site (http://media.wildstang.org/MWR07/). I imagine they'll be on TBA as soon as the guys there get a chance to grab them and convert to FLVs.

I'm working on the remaining St. Louis videos now as well.

I just posted a spreadsheet in white papers that gives a strength of schedule measure and RPI for the teams in qualifying at the 07 MWR--3 toughest schedules were 107, 2112, 1761--3 easiest were 111, 74, 1000. 14 of the top 15 ranked teams had schedules that were easier than neutral.

Does anyone know where I can find video of the awards ceremonies from MWR?
