Hello Everyone,
Regional competitions started since March 7th, and if you haven’t been paying attention, there’ve been some pretty exciting competition going on the past two weeks. I really hope you didn’t miss the Kennedy Space Center regional when Team SPAM 180 and Metal in motion 343 defeated Baxter Heatwave 312 and the #1 seed rookie team… Or the VCU Richmond regional MOE 365’s very cool three goal robot and NASA Knights 122’s #1 seed robot…
If you are as big of fan as I am for this competition, then you were probably there last week when we cheered really hard for Baxter Bomb Squad 16 and Robonauts 118’s battle against GRT 192 and Rocket city robotics 34 for Lone Star regional champion, or for the GM and Delphi teams’ fight against Las Guerillas 469 and the FEDS 201… Yup, those were some pretty cool matches…
Well, no worry, even if you missed those memorable moments, I am here to tell you where you can look at for some of the actions I talked about, or at least what you can look forward to the next few weeks. This edition of Fresh from the forum will include links to places where you can look at pictures of robots from across the country, and information from teams telling us how their robot work… And if you don’t already know, the places for regional webcasts & NASA TV, and where you can upload your team’s picture to show off what you got… Plus the confusing issues teams have been discussing about, and important competition and scouting tips.
So, without taking any more of your time, here is the “Regional competitions update” of “Fresh from the forum”.
