Wow Newton is cool

How did team 33 Change from a spinner to a shooter. Theay went from a round robot too weaks ago at the Michigan event to a sq bot (did team 65 or team 68 provide the plans)?

Re: Newton 09
 

Designs have been done for a long time. That is how 33 chose to try the 40 pound allowance.

There was actually a significant mod that occurred at State with the addition of a hood on the shooter.

The team then decided to try the other design that was actually inpsired by 67 (if you read all the 67 posts they did a shooter to power dumper swap just prior to their first competition).

I am not at Nationals and haven't actually seen it play. Hopefully it works out good.

Re: Newton 09
 

You guys pulled it off nicely. We did something similar.... ;) It was awesome playing with you guys, good luck tomorrow.

Re: Newton 09
 

Thanks. I will pass it on to the team. Hopefully they have exorcised the last EE gremlin. The jags have been intersting this year.

Go Maryland!

Re: Newton 09
 

Go Gearheads!!!

I am sad that I could not join my team in Atlanta but they are doing so well and I am so proud of them.

I wish the best of luck to ALL Newton teams - lets bring home the Championship!!!! :D

1-1625, 234,768
2-1918,85,135
3-2377,148,126
4-2771,365,1726
5-1507,121,177
6-2970,102,33
7-1629,469,368
8-1516,1867,88

A lot of Maryland and Michigan teams. I hope the finals are 1625, 234, 768 vs. 2970,102,33. There are a lot of strong alliances here. Is there a World Champion?

Re: Newton 09
 

GO 2970,102,33!!!!!!!!

Re: Newton 09
 

Correction to
8-1516,1867,88

it was team 1868 The Space Cookies picked by the 8th seed, not 1867.

Should read:

8-1516,1868,88

It was a great championship!

Re: Newton 09
 

It was a little dissapointing that 1625 and 2970 didn't get to repeat their Wisconsin showdown in the Newton Finals elimination like I was hoping for.

Newton was a pretty fun and intense division. Congratulations to all of the teams and the 5th seeded alliance!

Re: Newton 09
 

Good job everyone. A big special thanks to 1507 for picking us.

Re: Newton 09
 

First of all, a huge congratulations to teams 67, 111 and 971! Your strategy and robots were phenomenal. Say high to the President for me!

Additionally, congratulations to teams 1918, 85 and 135. You guys had us (or at least me anyway!) sweating bullets when you beat us after Final 1-2.

We would like to thank Team 121 "the Rhode Warriors" for an awesome run! You guys were a pleasure to hang out with and even more of a pleasure to win with.
And of course, congratulations to team 177 for making to Einstein for the fourth year in a row. Team 121 said you folks were the robot to pick and they were right! Your robot was truly a dark horse and a fantastic find for our alliance!

With any luck, we'll get to play with any one of these extraordinary teams next year!

This was my last but by far favorite year. With a regional and divisional win, it was an amazing capstone to my experience as a FIRST student.
I guess now I've got to mentor!

Re: Newton 09
 

Thanks and great job to 135, and 1918!

Re: Newton 09
 

wow...what great elims rounds! Thanx to teams 85 and 135 for helping us get this far!

Congrats to teams 121, 177, and 1507 for beating us in a 3 rounds in some of the closest finals rounds we have ever played in.

Also, congrats to teams 67, 217, 68, and 247 for showing that Michigan is the best place for robotics.

See you all next year!!

Re: Newton 09
 

I must say, that was the most successful year we have ever had. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. Congrats to ALL teams who made it to Nationals. Thanks 85 and 135 for being our partners!

I just wish I could have rode a Segway.......:yikes:

GO NC GEARS!!!!
