Team 64 would like to thank the 10 teams from the Phoenix/Tucson area who came to our 7th Annual "Duel in the Desert". The action was much better than I expected with almost a week to go before shipping. Several teams were able to gain axcess to the platforms. Three teams were able to hang. No one used the IR beacon in auto mode, though a few teams said they were working on it. Most robots (even the rookies) showed exceptional speed. A few teams realized how top heavy they were (tipping over was not uncommon especially when carrying the big balls.) Many teams used the pneumatic tires. Special acknowledgement to Team 1011 for their "Swerve2" driving system.
What suprised me the most was how little time two minutes is when you are trying to accomplish just a few things in this years game.
