We're currently at our first regional of the 2011 season- our second year in FRC. I think we got a little big for our britches for this season. Some things that completely blew over our heads at the workshop:
our weight, manipulator practice, driving practice, etc. We had 0 practice time (and a lot of other teams did, too) and didn't get inspected until the pits just about closed. Buckeye has been ridiculous this year, but we're trying to stay optimistic.
From being exactly 120 pounds in weight, and just barely able to fit in to our starting configuration, it's been quite a ride, and we still have tomorrow to deal with. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
* our weight ... man, let me just say, our electronics cover and chassis is now swiss cheese!
