Yes thanks Mike for putting up with us with all the pestering about drill motors and trannies!! Thanks to your motors and trannies we were able to compete!! We were kinda the cinderella bot this year, everything that could go wrong went wrong on thursday- entire front drive broke and the welds on our arms were broken by a judge, and we had to resort to casters to drive which did not work well. Thanks to hard work by our students and mentors on friday we were able to rebuild our front drive drills and all by the fourth match when we played with 25 and we won!! Rutgers became more of a practice for us for nats, all that mattered was getting the drive train working and auto working.
Things improved on saturday and all of our components were working(finally) and we ended up using our suction cups to effectively stay on the ramp (we stayed on despite a battering by 25 and 2 other robots in 2 seperate matches)
Hopefully nationals will be better for us now that we have our drive train working!
Props to 637 for picking us for alliance selections!!!
