Can't wait until North Carolina! We should have some pictures up soon.

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

I also can't wait until NC. Just a nice 2hr drive instead of another 6hr one. :)
Here is a video of our robot during driver tryouts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=380svTHNkrQ

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

Yeah i just added it im just going to keep adding them to the first list so i dont have to keep posting the same thing

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

That looks like the ball goes more than 3 inches past the frame perimeter.

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

It is a 9 hour drive for Bacon, but we're excited to be coming to the NC regional!

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

It does, the robot is not finished in this video.

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

yeah 2228 has a 13 hour bus ride

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

It's a little longer drive for us, but we are also super excited :)

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

Your robot looks really awesome!! Good luck at NC :)

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

Thank you! Good luck to you too.

There's now a video on our team's web page at http://www.mechanicalmayhem.org/teamvideos.asp of our robot's best 60-second scoring performance from the Week 1 Granite State Regional.

In the clip, the robot acquires and shoots 6 balls into goals -- three from the midfield zone, one from the near zone, and then (since the score was 9-1 at that point) two shots fired the length of the field to go into the opponents goals (effectively "far zone" shots.)

Before the North Carolina Regional, we hope to get more video online showing our 5-kick autonomous mode (including an autonomous bump crossing) and our defensive play during the elimination rounds (after autonomous mode ended, we played defense on our elimination alliance at GSR.)

As the only team from New England at the North Carolina Regional, we're eagerly looking forward to meeting a whole bunch of teams we've never encountered before!

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

Very nice performance. I'll be interested to see how your robot does when facing a bit more...palpable defense.

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

I might get yelled at for putting this up, but what the heck. Our robot eats bumps for breakfast this year, We can take it full speed over and the wheels never leave the ground. This vid is about half speed over the bumps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzfaa...eature=channel

Note that we could also destroy kitbots if so inclined... Ours is now bent into interesting shapes.

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

Hmmm. That video seems familiar... I wonder why? :P

Anyways, after going to the VCU regional, I'm happy that we are going to be at NC also! From a 64 team regional to only 44 teams! :]

GL to everyone and see everyone on the field!

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

Yes, the defense played against was not amazing or obvious. When we are defended, we do suffer with losing control of balls and collecting them; however, our team has been working hard with the weight we have left to improve ball control and these mechanisms seem to be very, very promising and efficient. Also, our drivers have been practicing so while that video is good and shows what most likely is the best 60 seconds of GSR for us, our goal is to consistently perform like we did in that minute and then some.

10 days left until we leave and can't wait to compete with/meet some new people in North Carolina! :)

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

If that's breakfast, then our bot eats bumps for a snack. For more info, check out our runaway autonomous in the Peachtree Regional thread. :P

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

I can't believe Week 4 is nearly upon us! The competition is going to be heavy though... I count:

44 Total teams competing at the North Carolina Regional!
31 Teams that have already been to a competition this year! (Including 2 that went to 2 Regionals!!)
16 Teams that made it into the Quarter-Finals!
10 Teams that made it into the Semi-Finals!
3 Teams that made it into the Finals!
2 Teams that became Regional Champions!
1 Andy Baker as Lead Inspector!
And 13 Teams we have yet to see compete!

Re: North Carolina Robots
 

Somebody has to ask this question, and I figured since I'm an alumni / part time mentor stuck at college and consequently unable to attend this coming weekend's NCR, I was a good candidate to ask:

Will the event be webcast?

According to the FIRST wiki (http://www.firstwiki.net/index.php/2010_Webcasts), there will NOT be a webcast, but with Team #48 attending, and given the fact they often broadcast the events they attend (the Palmetto Regional, for instance), I was hoping they would be doing the same here. Thanks!

will there be a webcast?
