We were out 2 matches.. sidecar was fried, wires fried.. so we had to completely rewire it.... then we worked on untwisting and unbending parts.. thanks to the machine shop for getting a weld that broke for us (yes, we had to take our bot to the garage)
Worked on the shooter first... got that working and then went to work on our climb again...
The problem.. we don't put our final lock on top level because we have to "manually" remove the bot. We did not have a way to powder coat our practice pyramid. We welded our practice pyramid and these are very flimsy (sorry, but they are, but it is our fault for "overbuilding" our pyramid). So.. we never had this problem on our home field..
Now we are putting our full lock on it, and found a way around the removal. We made a successful 30 point climb.
.. Had to fix a stuck dumper... thought we were going for 50 again finally, but something went wrong with our controls and it stopped recognizing our climb controller, (totally unrelated to fall obviously) so we were stuck at 10 point climb.
Tomorrow, we will be trying for 50 points, and hoping to get picked!
By the way.. to all the teams at Detroit today.. BX1023 thanks all of you that stopped by to ask if we needed parts, help, etc.. and to offer your "condolences" for our fall! We greatly appreciated all of the support you showed us! I am so proud of my team for getting it back up the pyramid! We'll see how tomorrow goes!
