Re: "Most Improved" Award 2015

Going to toot my own teams horn for a post, simply because of how proud I am of our improvement.

At our first event, Reading District, our best match consisted of putting up a single uncapped six stack, and a high score of 105 points, and our QA was 40.6 points. http://youtu.be/HOAAmuBDxqQ

At our second event, UNH, we added an arm to pick up the RCs, intake wheels to help control moving the ground tote, and increased the speed of our elevator and pusher by 50%. We increased our scoring ability to a capped six stack and an uncapped three stack. Our high score of the day was 140, and our QA was 69.7 points. http://youtu.be/Uuph9v8srww

At New England Championships, we fixed the intake wheels to spin correctly, and changed our controller from joysticks to Xbox controllers, which myself and our other driver found more comfortable. We were able to put up two capped six stacks, our high score was 169, and our QA was 130.8 points. http://youtu.be/noqyyMzKmLk

We definitely aren't the best robot in the world, and we probably haven't shown the most improvement (195 definitely has us beat for this) but I love how much our team put into the robot during the season to continue improving. Expect even more from 1058 in St. Louis!
