Team 360 was the robot on the outside of the vertical bar on the first 3 hangers on Friday. It could be called the story of the "Little FP Motor that could..." we started smoking and tripping breakers... but we stayed up.
We (360) were undefeated on Friday (7 matches) and today had 1 tie and 1 DQ (because another robot rammed us and then became entangled).

The robots wouldn't turn on during and after autonomous mode at least twice, and one robot even shorted the field and created a big cloud of smoke and the OI wires got all hot. Still, it was very exciting to watch. And team 1359 has a very stylish team. Teams 948, 997, and 1359 stayed at the Ramada Inn half a block away from the arena.

I was amazed at how many field and control problems they were having. According to Hut and Blair (the FIRST people) and Bob (the IF guy) the field was shipped before anything was tested. So, it sounds like most of the problems were sorted out at the first weekend of regionals.
I was amazed at how little defense there was during the qualification matches and how much defense there was during the finals matches.
Good Luck to Everyone Else.
