Re: Minibot deployment

I have yet to see a team align the way we do. Its not the best way, nor do I really prefer it. However, when our robot weighed in at 119.6 during the last week of the season, we didnt have much choice.
A simple software aid and use of the camera. It has to be dead on, but it does it every single time.

At NYC, it didnt launch for two matches. 1st, we didnt get there in time. Stupid mistake. 2nd, we lost com and never got there. FTA fixed the problem, but we didnt replay the match.
In Hawaii, we played in 17 matches. It launched successfully in 16 of them, except the last one due to a surgical tubing issue that finally gave out after two tournaments. Problem solved for Vegas in a few days.
