Re: 2004 Pennsylvania Robot Challenge (PARC)

639 members already ordered about 20 of them I hope you guys use this money to improve upon your awesome drivetrain.

I'd like to add something before Saturday... when I was driving in Canada during practice rounds, I became extremely pissed off when field crew members were taking sticks and pushing small balls into the corral. I understand that human players need practice, but in Canada, there was a pratice goal in the back for them. I wanted more practice herding but instead, the balls near the corral were nearly all gone. At PARC, our drive team will consist of completely new people who were part of the third drive team this year (backup). They have not competed yet, have not ever played on a real field, and have the least experience/skill (no offense guys). We are using PARC to train them more because chances are that they will become the second drive team next year (we alternate qualifying matches on 639 - first driver, me, does eliminations). I would greatly appreciate it, and so would that third drive team, if PARC field crew members would not herd balls for teams unless asked to. Practice rounds are for practice and should be used to simulate a real match as closely as possible. Interference is just annoying to the driver. Let him/her practice.

<bovril> it collects data about the surrounding environment, then discards it and drives into walls
