In day 1 of Central valley we actually worked our way up to #1 by the time the day ended...1678 will likely pass us due to not playing yet. We should end up Alliance captain 1,2 or 3. with three to play.
We got there by only losing 1 game , breaching every time, had on Capture with 254 and crew.
1678 and 254 are the best here, we just happen to be very good at collecting RP
So far we had to replace 4 of the pulleys from the treads (cracked again), my advice to teams with tank treads consider putting on Revision 4 before your competition and of course harden all connectors.
We upgrade our drive camera to
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webca.../dp/B006JH8T3S and its fantastic
As for telescoping poles this central valley competition has tons of teams with them 1678 is 30 foot high it seems.
Team 8 built a screen to obscure Birdseye views out of duct tape.
Anyhow off to Day 2..will update afterwards.
