Hmm, that 1868 robot looks oddly familiar...

Re: 2009 Fembot's Practice day
 

1458 had an amazing time, we learned a lot about the game, then about our robot when a good hit from the side shattered our acrylic. We then ran home bought Lexan and replaced our side panels.

Don't cheap out on important pieces.

Great day overall though

I must agree with all points you made. We too learned a LOT!
We figured out how to get our autonomous working. We now have a much better grasp on "Running" the code vs. "Deploying Start up" code. We also found our strengths and weaknesses with our robot. We can now use ALL of Monday productively.

As far as your lesson on acrylic, it's a good lesson to learn in practice and not during competition. :o
Acrylic has it's place, but it is not in a placed where an impact or stress can be applied to it.

FEMBOTS, you guys are looking great as always. We so have to team up at Davis, have a great build season and we'll see you guys at the comps.

WOW< WOW> WOW

I called it first!(back at the 254 teaser):ahh: 1868 is based at the same place as 254, but I don't think they are mentored by 254.

Re: 2009 Fembot's Practice day
 

I'm glad you guys liked our robot! (hehe)

Fembots - you gals did a great job hosting the event!
Thanks everyone else for participating. As you saw, we are uber-excited our robot is up and running!

just adding in our .02 - thanks SO MUCH to the Fembots for hosting saturday. We got SO MUCH fixed - programming, gearboxes, and some really awesome mods for weight and safety inspection. Rookie Team 3013 really appreciated all the help it got from all the teams (adults and kids) there!

295 wishes we were there but were not due to a robot malfunction friday night.

1678 owes so much to the Fembots this year. We were lucky enough to finish our robot a week and a half ago, and we've been to the Fembot's shop on 4 separate occasions to practice on their regolith. Our drive team is even there today, getting as much practice as possible. The Fembots have been more than willing to let us come over and use their practice field, and 1678 is very thankful for their generosity. Thanks Fembots!

The 254 mentors work primarily with 254, but assist 1868 as well.

701 is really bummed to miss the Fembot Scrimmage, our students really enjoy it and look forward to it each year. Luckily we did get our robot working Sunday night and on Monday. See you gals at Davis!!
