Re: PARC VII Results!
Oh boy...that was one heck of a day.
We start off unloading the robot and tools at about 8:00. And wait a minute...oops. I guess we forgot our OI. Thanks to the Tigertrons(222) for sharing theirs with us for the morning. And also thanks to Pat, on of our mentors, who turned around 1/2 way into a 3 hour drive to go get them and then drive all the way back up to PARC.
I think we ran on one motor drive for 4 of our 6 matches, and were still able to cap the stationary goal in most of them...
Two bosch motors later, thanks to Chuck (84) for picking us and 1302 for being a great alliance partner. Sorry we let you guys down. When we went to go grab the 2x ball out of the mobile goal there, the 1/2" steel shaft we have the arm on just sheared clean. The arm collapsed and got tangeled up in the rest of the robot.
But, despite all of the things that went wrong, I had a good time. Thanks to 222 for hosting another great event.
