1 screw in 1 piece of tread, grrrr

Who mentioned giving up on it? I thought the lesson was that you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch. Yes, you should analyze the situation. But once you have, it is important to not assume your decision is final. Continue to think about things. Don't take your null hypothesis for granted. That was the lesson to learn. In other words, think things through but be willing to roll with the punches if you didn't figure properly.

You got me with that one Aren. I don't recall that from the Galileo finals. Story?

Re: What won in 2006?
 

In the first finals match when 177 so gracefully deposited us into the corner goal it ripped a piece of tread halfway off a wheel, which then caused that side of the drivetrain to be inoperable. This pretty much took us out of match 1 completely.

It also had the side effect of me trying to get us out of the corner not knowing what was wrong, so essentially stalling some CIMs for quite a while, leaving them on fire for match two and horribly unresponsive. That's when we found you can toast a CIM.

so yeah, I kinda have the internal grudge against that piece of tread for costing us Einstein

If the volunteers at Lockheed Martin are able push out another iteration of the multi-player, 5th Gear, FRC, match simulator this coming season, give it a try.

It's not perfect; but quite a few folks have found it useful for getting a sense of how matches will play out, before they finish their robot.

In past seasons that simulator has gone public in middle to late January.

PS: Creating a 5th Gear Aim High simulation would be a good thing to do. It was my favorite game. However, the 500+ hours that go into each release makes creating releases for past games a daunting hill to climb.

If there was any game I would literally pay to play a good simulator of, I think Aim High might just be it.
