The culprit was a bad window motor which just came apart and we didn't catch it. Our new driver also had issues with lining up to the pole so we had mini bot issues 3 times as well. I expected to do better. But we are in training for drivers for next year as our Einstein drivers have moved on.
Ah... two things that plagued some of the greatest teams at IRI: Robot wear-and-tear, and new drivers in training. Regardless of your problems, you were a great team to work with. A great robot all around! We look forward to meeting again someday.
