We were driving towards the low bar and about 5 feet away and lost coms... the robot continued forward because the last command we had given to the drive controllers was forward at speed.
We believe that we may have had a loose ethernet connection on the roborio. We were never able to regain control of the robot. We tried rebooting the roborio to no avail. We hit our collector on the low bar and were stuck there anyway... we suffered some damage to the shooter/collector but were able to accomplish fixes and continued into finals 2. That was a very exciting match.
We are in the process of rebuilding the shooter collector and repairing damage (not all from that occurrence....) ?
It is rather amazing how much damage a robot takes in this game. We have been in 55 matches now in three districts and we need repairs from normal game play.
Our opponents (2046, 2811 and 5803) played a great finals and we applaud them for winning the Philomath event. Our partners, 1318 and 2411 played very well and we were sorry that we couldn't win with them in the third match of finals.
During quals we were experimenting with our shooter and trying some new things as it was our third district (no points).
We are looking forward to improving for the District Champs next week!!
