Re: Congratulations to the 2011 World Champions - Teams 254, 111 and 973

781 - At GTR, we were having problems with our banebots motors. When we hit a certain angle with the arm, the whole robot would time out. This is so, because dust and little particles get inside the casing of the motors. After a certain amount of this build-up, the gears hit a certain point and the robot times out. What we did to fix this is connect the battery ends to the casing of the non-working motor and this effectively fries the buildup of particles. I know it is to late now, but you guys should definitely try this for future reference. (This only applies if you are using banebots)

254, 111 and 973 - it was amazing playing against you guys. Between the extremely fast minibots, consistent triple uber-tubes, and 4-5 logos every match, you guys won a well-deserved championship.

I had a great season, and see you all next year!
