Re: Low-Bar Challenged Robots - Support Group

We played our first event in St Joe and the low bar thing wasn't an issue. 95% of the robots were low bar. But we were a tall robot that was blind, none of our cameras worked until day 2. We got one working for 1/2 of a match, but then the CF broke the lens out of our camera.

The 2nd day though... both cameras working, so we could shoot finally. We made 7 shots in 1 matches and two of the highest scores during quals were from us and our alliance partners.

We only missed 2 shots on that 2nd day. One went straight through from one side to the other and the other one was just rushed. One of the shots even had a robot slam into us as we were shooting breaking one of our arms off (causing us a foul) but we made the shot.

Being tall is nice. We have our climb done except for some minor testing and look forward to unleashing the "Swiss Army Beast" at Lansing.
