Its a false sense of security when your up against a robot with a bow tie. then you realize it's team moe...

Steve.

Thanks for asking. Version 1.0 of our empty cell device had a hook on the gearbox. At DC a few weeks ago, we cycled through a number more designs - multiple hooks, a tray, etc. We settled into version 4.0 at the end of DC and that is the version you will see us use at Philly. More detail will have to wait a week.

Awesome robot!! Can't wait for nationals. We're also going to change a improve on some fronts. see you in Atlanta.:D

It seemed as if you were having trouble during the first day with controling and malfuctioning but maybe it may have just been my viewing of the game. On the other note, such a great robot. It's quick and delivers the key to mastering Lunacy.

Your assessment is probably correct. I didnt see any of our practice matches, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had some issues. We nearly doubled the top speed by changing our Toughbox gears and had to recalibrate the camera tracking.

Thanks for the compliment. Every year, we try to improve the design at every event and it is nice when it works out.

We're completely changing our robot for Monty Madness in May. It's going to be suprising how well it turns out. I noticed that 365 wasn't attending. Was the team planning on to attend?

Rob:

We are not sure yet what our Spring off-season will bring. It all depends on availability of our team members. MOE has almost always gone to suppport our friends 222 at the PA Robot Challenge. If we do that again, we probably will not be attending Monty Madness (even though I know it is a terrific event).

That is kind of upsetting not being abole to really play against MOE. Hopefully, the robot gods will appear and give you some miracle allowing MOE to attend Monty Madness. It was a pleasure seeing what MOE has to offer and I will be investing more time next year to make sure the Iron Devils represent what you all have shown us during FRC.
