Was it harker? I think it might have been harker. They had the huge omnis that would climb on top of everything. They shredded our bumpers when we got into a pushing match with them during a practice round. We won the pushing, but they tore our bumper fabric up. I thought that stuff was tough too! Nothing a sewing needle couldn't fix though.

Even though those Harker wheels were deadly, they still were pretty cool.

that is the second battery on the field that I saw at Davis, and I didn't see a whole lot of the matches! 1031 had theirs come out too.

I think I saw two more batteries come out at AZ, they might have been 60 and 1290?

Ouch! I was about 20 feet away when that happened (Mascot area) and the crowds response was non-to-eager...

umm... how many penalties were there in that match?

Is there a video?

Which team's robot is that on the right?

:eek:

That bot is 1560, from Pinewood. They had a very nice arm, if a bit wobbly.

Thats really sad:(

1560 had one of the best decorated robots this year, and its a shame it got destroyed.

Here's what it used to look like...



Team 100's "sucker" and arm developed some serious stress fractures at Davis. The polycarbonate armor got some serious dings. But the bumpers... ALL of the cordura was ripped along the bottom, and the pool noodles were hanging out. :eek:

That was a brutal game.

Holy cow... as a driver, I'm not sure I want to see a video of that taking place *shudders*

Dont let it bother you too much though, skimming over rule G.6.984 is a common mistake that many teams make. Good luck on it next season ;)

He was responding to a post about blast points and Sand People--the movie is Star Wars: A New Hope (also known as Episode IV).

I am not sure I want to see video of that match--it'll probably be more brutal than the regional eliminations I watched on Saturday!:ahh:

That's the 2nd out-of-robot battery experience there was at davis! WOW!
to bad I missed that match!

Re: pic: Davis Bot Left Disabled
 
yeah, that game was just brutal. That robot got shreded completely, one of my teammates was crying in the stands. Surprisingly, no yellow card was given in that game i think.
Anyways, Davis' defense was crazy. We had to change the gearbox b/c it was damaged somehow from all those pushing...

Team 1560 has learned their lesson concerning acrylic XD

The panelling had already developed fractures over the course of SVR and earlier Davis qual matches which was bridged with aluminum. When the Harker bot (1072) hit us the panelling literally exploded.

Luckily most of the acrylic was cosmetic panelling, save the back panel which did hold the battery down. All the moving parts of the bot were still completely functional after the round. Harker gave us a piece of Lexon which we subsequently used to re-cover our electronics and we went on pick the number 7 alliance at Davis.

Oh, and we won that match too :yikes:

WOW. Yeah, can't say I like the way you've got your electronics covered, even with the side panels. An arm could easily accidentally reach down in there and detroyed everything.
