Re: What FIRST Is About
I think 1114 showed 3492 what FIRST is all about in Pittsburgh... they saw the potential for the Robogens to play defense, even though the rookie team was ranked low after qualifications, then they helped re-engineer 3492's robot over lunch - it lost around 40 pounds and gained 2 more drive wheels in the process! As we found in the Semis, along with MARs, this worked for their alliance! Also, Simbotics lent us a minibot, which we could deploy on the practice pole but not on the field... BTW, 3492 has raised the funds to get to St Louis, which is awesome!
