Re: teams to look for this year

I am looking forward to seeing what Baxter Bomb Squad comes up with. I'll also be looking out for 233, 64, and 1245 at the Colorado regional.

Re: need Computer power supply trick

Re: Championship Who's staying where?

Team 662 will also be bringing at least 2 Xboxes, 8 controllers, and I will personally be bringing lots (i.e., 200+ feet) of Cat5 and some network switches. ALSO, most hotels do NOT have RCA inputs,...

Yeah, even when other teams did give us info, your scouting binder usually helped us out more. I remember asking one team if their drills were locked into high or low gear, and they didn't know. I...

Team 662 had drills and CIMs for drive this year. Since the CIMs are about 4x faster than the drills/planetary gearboxes, we used two black 2:1 gearboxes per side to gear down the CIMs 4:1. We then...
