Up Next!, FRC Team [b]3528[b] is both humbled and honored to be a part of the Curie field in our 2nd trip across the state of Missouri to St. Louis. We are excited to play again with familiar faces such as
1986 and
525 as well as meeting new teams from across the country.
Our scissor-lift/dumping robot impressed the judges in both GKC and OKC by winning the Engineering Excellence & Creativity in Design awards. We can quickly pick up three balls and score 2 pt baskets from the fender or the side. Our 100% hybrid performance in GKC helped seed us as the #2 seed behind
1986 during week #1. In OKC we were the #1 seed and won the regional with some great alliance partners. You can see highlights from our performance in GKC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCJqXsE4w64 We improved our ball gathering conveyor between GKC and OKC to be at least two times faster than what you see here.
We never had the opportunity to practice a triple balance during competition, but our driver is experienced in balancing the bridge and we hope to get the opportunity to try a few triples next weekend.
We look forward to seeing everyone in less than a week. Look for us in the pink shirts (but don't confuse us with the Pink Team). We are..Up Next!
