Heh, LOL, yea we had to let go of the goal or be DQed, our driver and gripper did the right thing. I dont know if you noticed, but we put some good tears in the carpet over there
Otherwise we were pulling (or were we pushing, I dont remember, I think we must've been pushing) you and the goal over
And yea, we had at least 80% student work..at least. It had to be more like 90 though. Unfortunately, we didnt even have a real welder this year (sorta a makeshift tig welder with leaks in the hose). It was really tough to weld, so one teacher did most of the welding, always with at least one student watching/helping/learning. Welds for all prototypes were done by students, however.
And WPI is one of the schools that I am definitely considering (for the simple reason that they compete in FIRST and supposedly have a really good Computer/Electrical engineering program). I would love to participate in FIRST in college and come to the LI Regional against my former West Islip team
But then again I need to consider schools like Cornell and Rensselaer that I also got accepted to, but unfortunately I dont think either one participates in FIRST. Ah well, it's a really tough decision.
