Re: 2015 Gateway Robotics Challenge
Ryan: Thanks to all your volunteers who worked hard to make Gateway such a well-executed event. It is a fantastic opportunity to get new students, mentors and drive coach geared up for the season, and allowed us to have two new sets of robot drivers and operators get some behind the glass time in a relaxed but competitive environment.
Aaron: Ms. Stackman landed on her back due to a tote that got lodged vertically. When the stacker was cycled to dislodge it, it resulted in the back flip. We were able to somewhat repair the arm, but even with the valiant attempts by the Lutheran Roboteers and MARS/WARS to comb through their spare parts stash, we were not able to match a replacement motor/ transmission combination to fix the stacker in time for playoffs.
When it came time for the playoffs, we created a new strategy with our great B teams (MARS/WARS B and Lutheran Roboteers B) to noodle RCs and cap their stacks, a role that we had not done in any of our previous competitions.
It was really fun to interact with all the teams that came. Congratulations to the Finalist and Winning Alliances!
