You folks seeded 31st.. not too great of a showing. But you did get picked for alliances which is always good. (We didn't  ). I looked through the scores you guys had and they all were rather low. I havn't seen matches so I don't know how well you were really pushing people around, but it seems like it didn't help you much.
Don't get me wrong, you guys have a cool bot, as I have said in the image discuss, but it's not seeming to perform as stellar as your post comes across as.
but you guys lost 1/2 your matches....
But hey.. you guys won Chairman's award, definitly something to be proud of. If you are going to be raising your tail feathers, I think it should be about that more than your neat looking bot.

We were 5 and 3. THat's not half last I checked.
The reasons we were low?
1. We had a faulty joystick for the first 3 (Parks, confirm this) matches on Friday.
2. Electrical short caused the voltage on the battery to drop to 6V in our second match.
3. We were paired with a couple of essentially dead robots.
When we were able to use our robot for it's best function, it performed admirably. Parks is quite right in saying that nobody could push us around, I don't think I saw it lose a battle all weekend. Some bad luck cost us better seeding, which is unfortunate, but if we can keep up the solid play that we had for the last half of the weekend, we should do well in Houston.
