Yeah, I know last year they came out Tuesday night. But I can hardly wait!

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

294 is pretty good this year, I imagine they'll sneak in under the radar.

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

with 67 in the division the MC will most likly be Dave Verrbugie (Wow I butchered that last name... Alot harder to spell than say)
All I can say is GOPI!!

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

Whoohoo! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Atlanta! We can make Newton rock this year!

Oink Oink...

BOOM!!!

(The first of many to come! : P )

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

it will rock, our robot has improved so much over time

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

Ours has too, we are ready to show off probably our best autonomous that our team has ever made, lets go Newton!

ISAAC!!!

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

343 is excted to play on newton! =] can we start with the scouting portion? can people describe what your robot can do? i will start:

-track drive robot
-4 CIMS on the drivetrain
-pneumatic released spring-loaded kicker
-kicker kicks 35 feet
-rides up a vertical pole to hang
-hangs in about ten seconds
-in auto, usually start far, clear all three balls (maybe score two if we are lucky ;) )

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

-6 wheel tank drive
-2 speed AM SuperShifter gearbox
-Ball magnet
-cam system kicker, spring tension
-multi-tension kicker(prematch change)
-low setting=20ft loft style high setting=10 ft line drive style
-2 auto settings: prefer start in far but can go in middle
-Slow Setting: kicks all 3 far balls scores 1-2 but whatever misses ends in front zone
-Fast Setting: kicks far 3 and then middle 2 scores 1-4 but whatever misses ends in front zone

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

The MC will probably either be Chiniqua or Jeff Seaton

Blair usually take Galileo with Andy Grady, and Mark Leon usually takes Curie.

Jeff and Chiniqua usually split up Newton and Archimedes.

And of course Dave will be making appearances.

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

whos the guy that does Einstein and did MSC this year?
(pretty sure that is the same guy lol)

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

that's Dave Verbrugge

he's done Einstein every year since I can remember (at least 04) I think before that it was Dr Flowers.

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

Man we need to get him, he is an awesome MC

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

Dave Verbrugge! Despite seeing him today, I can't tell you if he's MCing the whole time, or just part time as George A. stated. That will probably be what happens, as that is what he has done in the past.

Team 67:

8 wheel tank drive
Quick bump traversal
Kicker with variable power
- 3 coded set positions: Near, Middle, and Far Zone
Hanger that sometimes works, but apparently not when it counts. Ahem. We'll fix that.
- Able to continue rising after the buzzer
Many, many, MANY autonomous modes :)

Re: Newton Division 2010
 

For qualification rounds he just backs up the 4 MC's of the fields. And then he MC's Einstein. Although they could always change it up this year.
