Re: 2012 San Diego

It's scouting meeting time!

We had a fun day of qualifying. Our autonomous shooting is working well, our teleop has been a little bit iffy. We did find a cause, which is falling off the bridge and having the camera mount get slightly bent. Once we figured it out, things got better again.

We did a couple coop bridge attempts and didn't make either of them. The balls under the bridges make things interesting, especially with a "wide" robot, you need to be careful not to try to drive onto a bridge if it's not going down all the way, or you can flip over pretty easily.

We've seen some great play by quite a few robots, 1661 and 599 bridge work is really good. 3008 is an amazing scorer in teleop.

We did get to make some repairs to our bridge arm, our pneumatic "lock" got bent and we decided to replace it with a mechanical one...the second attempt actually survived a couple matches intact.

It's kinda weird having the event a day late. Hope you all tune in to the webcast Sunday!
