First match for us was a pretty good match, second match was stupid mistake one of leaving a shooter safety on preventing us from shooting, third match a robot beached itself on our pickup tongue, and 4th match or the one we stopped moving the battery came unplugged. and ALL of these things are never ever ever happening again. grrrrrr

Re: Midwest Regional
 

A battery came unplugged. Ouch :(

Once in Aim High, a poof ball hit our robot exactly on its off switch. The robot was off for the whole match. It was terrible.

Re: Midwest Regional
 

The match we were in when 2039 fell over and blocked the track we incurred penalties for a robot driving on top of our scoop.....again, the refs then gave us a yellow card for entanglement twice, and we have made changes so it shouldn't get stuck under people anymore. bad 3 matches

Re: Midwest Regional
 

just curious to hear what people think of our bot from team 2358? we're 3-3-1 right now.

Re: Midwest Regional
 

your hybrid mode is pretty good! three lines right?? thats the last on I saw, and you launcher is pretty good too good job!

Re: Midwest Regional
 

I believe you guys are doing very well, especially for a rookie team! Your hybrid mode performs almost every match, which is very good.
Also, your catapult runs on a pretty neat spring design, which I haven't seen yet on any other robot.(I think its a spring design, you never know with the web cast resolution!) You guys seem to really shine in qualifying match 40. The camera gets some really good views of your robot in action.
I would not be surprised if you guys were up for some pretty good rookie awards this year! :D Hope to see you at nationals!

Re: Midwest Regional
 

Haha, sorry to hear about that. I know exactly how that feels, one random unrelated problem after another. Good learning experience, that's for sure.

Re: Midwest Regional
 

I finally got to watch archived matches.
Conclusion: WOW!
That 33/1114 match was as good as it gets. 33 is right up there on the scoring considering its an arm bot. Very efficient, quick and smart driving.
1114 definitely the flavor everyone predicted them to be.

One thing I did not see and curious as to whether 1114 can place on the overpass? 33 won that match with placement of ball at the end (not including penalty on other alliance).

If they got together, that would be a case of the armbot, shooter, and xxxx as an effective alliance??

Re: Midwest Regional
 

1114 can place on the overpass. Match 29. They attempted in Match 4, but failed.

Re: Midwest Regional
 

thx for the words of commendation :)

just to clear up a few points:
1) we dont use hybrid, its fully autonomous.
2) its not spring powered, its actually elastic exercise bands :D
