Re: 2011 Chesapeake Regional in Baltimore

Well, that was a different regional for me.
Coming from a team that, while in my tenure, hasn't had to overcome so much adversity just to put the robot onto the field, it was a different weekend for me. If it could have gone wrong, it did go wrong for us. However, I ended up learning pneumatics on the job and am better for it, so that's something.

Our lift got trashed in our last match when the radio lagged out and threw our robot forward into the wall, and by then we knew we had to stick a fork in this weekend, and wait for the VA Regional.

I would like to thank teams 340 and 88 for loaning out minibots to our team. It allowed us to perfect our deployment mechanism and let us see the right way to build a minibot (until someone builds it better) Our lift is coming back home to go on our practice bot, and we are putting a word in at Diamond Springs for some large water bottles for a spirit drum transformation.

The weekend may not have gone the way my team may have wanted it to, but we got ourselves and most of the robot through it. See everyone in Richmond on April 7th, where we look to return to desired form.
