Out of curiosity how many teams will be attending this year? I heard it was around 27 or so.

Even though we aren't competing we were thinking of borrowing "Marsha Bee", last years robot, doing a few mods, and putting her into the off-season competitions. But other things came up and we didn't have the time. Think if we replaced her suction cup with a neumatic grabber and changed the arm actuator motors with something alittle faster (versus the van door motor in there now) we would do pretty well, except for the fact none us have practiced on a field or know any of the rules in detail.
Its a tradgedy Watkinson wouldn't work with us to bring us into our 4th year with a bang -- but I guess all good things come to an end. I will see you all at RIT Fingerlakes (my new school next year, I'm so stoked) and at UTC Hartford as a voulenteer/spectator.
I can't wait -- I might not be competing, but i'm not out.
Good luck you guys! See you there!
