[The Cyborg]

Well, we did okay for a robot that we had, but the steering and the drivetrain itself was highly unreliable. When it did work, however, it lead to great results. Me and a member from 802 did a thorough inspection of the electrical system, and there was nothing wrong electrically, not to mention the motors ran perfectly while tethered or elevated. Our drivetrain team also worked countless hours fixing and rearranging chains on the drivetrain... But the problem with the robot is still unknown to us... sad, isn't it?

I think our team as a whole, however, did a fabulous job with the spirit! Not only did the team won the Spirit Award in Lamphere, but they were also recognized as the loud team during the Championships. We were also very (and I mean very) determined to win that Beautiful Bot award, and bam! Our determination paid off during Champs. Overall, we did a great job during the season.

Another team I like to point out that did a fabulous job was team 802, the Robo-Knights. They had countless mascots, including two people wearing heavy chain mail, and they also made noisemakers from coconuts! Their sportsmanship was also astounding, making it hard to believe that this is their first year participating in robotics! We are looking forward to seeing what you guys (and girls) will accomplish during FIRST season!
