Team 1923 would like to thank everyone for making their experience at the 2012 Inaugural Mid-Atlantic Robotics Championship memorable. We had a great time and even though we didn't get to play in the eliminations, we still had loads of fun in all of the qualifying events.
We would like to especially thank
Team 2016 for helping us out by letting us use their tools and helping us out whenever we needed to borrow their arbor press or their drill press. We couldn't have performed as well as we did without your help. Thank you so much and we hope we can be pit buddies again in a later competition!
We would also like to thank
Team 1403 for helping us acquire a hex-cross section brace from the KOP that no one else had. Our battery had almost flown out of our robot when our robot got some air after a fall, and it took out our brace and sheared two bolts into it. They promised to get it out of their shop for us the next day, and we were surprised to see that they had tapped it and cut it to length as well! We couldn't have asked for more from this gracious team. Thank you so much!
We would also like to thank
Team 11 for helping us solve our programming problems. We found ourselves dead-in-the-water after hybrid in one match, and we remembered that MORT had the same problem when we were allianced with them. We rushed over to their pit to ask for help, and they gladly looked over our code and pointed out some things that would prevent it. We knew we could trust them and sure enough, we were operational in teleop the next match. Thank you MORT!
Finally, we would like to thank the teams that triple-balanced with us. It gave us a feeling about the dynamics of our robot and how easy or how hard it can be to triple balance. Off the top of my head, we attemped to triple balance with
357, 3929, 341, 2016 and 869. It was great to triple balance with you guys and even though we never got to do it in a real match, it still gave us the piece of mind that we could triple balance.
Thank you to all the volunteers who made this event possible. We really appreciated every volunteer at the event, from the the quick unbagging process with a volunteer standing by our pit at the time we walked in to the quick and efficient number-based unloading process. Thank you for volunteering your time for us!
Thank you to all the other teams who graciously provided parts and help to us. And good luck to all the teams representing Mid-Atlantic Robotics in St. Louis! We really enjoyed this year's competition and are looking forward to next year's! See you guys at the offseasons!
