Ya the lead on the Fisher Price that holds our stacker together ripped off. I hate putting 10 gauge leads on such small motors ( well that is fixed now). Too bad we couldn't sub your bot for ours cause you would have won it with the RoboWizards. Oh well, Bots will break and not everything is a 5 min fix.
It was a very spirited event. We gave away thousands of earplugs (all we brought). They were needed around the noisemaker bleacher containing: WAR Dept, RobbeXtreme, and of course MOE with spirit sticks. Also T Rex had drums in the same spot.
We also had the greatest Pit Neighbors.
As always, Royal Assault built a beautiful bot that I couldnt stop talking about.
The Brazilian Pioneers were a lot of fun. I wish I wasnt working in the pit during the soccer game between our two teams.
The Thunder Herd was the first bot i got to inspect. Thanks for not being too tough on a rookie inspector.
Thank you to the Arial Tornados for the Sponge Bob doll. You had the prettiest bot there.
The MechTechs were fun to watch as they did a major overhaul to their bot. Usually i dont like to see a bot remove its stacker but it had to be done. I like the low friction plastic pieces u used instead of casters.
Thanks to all the teams for making it a great regional. See many of u in Houston.
