[Heretic121]

ya... im gonna tell the 121 story... as some of you know... at BeanTownBlitz, in our 2nd quaterfinal match, or hook bent about 34* after a fall off the platform to the ground after it hit the guard rail... the hook was sevearly damaged, and it was almost in need of replacing... from there, we straigntend it out, but we were missing 3 things that should have been wielded onto it...

first, there was a missing wield on the bottom of the hook which we just screwed in... then the rachaet was also not weilded on, we have to dremel 2 screws to make them fit into the 2nd stage of our hook, and that was SOMEwhat fixed... then our rope was missing its bar, which makes it hang, so we had to use an ibolt instead... then it worked.... kind of... in our last quailfying match, our rachet buckeled and our hook wouldnt move at all... it was totaled!!! From there we had to take a 1/2" peice of aluminum and carve out of a solid block to make it, and now its better than ever (it sounds like a woden rollercoaster going up =D but that wasnt our worst problem...

after our first QuaterFinal match, our clutch gave way from our drill motor... our right side only drove with our back wheel... It actually broke in the our second (it had to be replayed because of a tie) So from there we had to completely un-assemble how it was mounted, and then take it apart... luckily our great alliance partner team 1027, had an extra clutch/transmission (wasnt 100% sure what it was, i was just doing what i was told)... and one of thier mentors helped out SO much so THANK YOU!!! but we only had about 20 min before semi-final 1, where we were rusehd on, and it worked better than before... but un-fortuanley, that wasnt the end of our bad luck... the Semi-final 3 for us, we with 190 went out.. 190 was unsecessful on hanging, which was VERY unfortuante for us, and also our clutch came lose from its attachment from the wheel, and we lost right side control, i couldnt turn left, which costed us the match because we could not get on the second platform...

I do have to say, that this was the biggest blow to the team all year, and without the mentor from 1027, Dave Delong (MrToast) we wouldnt have been able to pull it off... So i will add here, that we decided to give MrToast the award, as for he pulled through on the hook, and the trans... and it was also his birthday on friday =P... so thank you for all those who helped and we cant wait to go to BattleCry Next year... (and congrats for 181 and 177) (and who was that one 237 that yelled at me because i was wearing your shirt when we went down to get our trophy!?! thx =D)
