Day 1:

Lots of bots had problems being ready. I've never seen so many people in the pits. My team scrapped part of our arm in favor of a stripped down, more KISS design. It's yet to be known whether or not it will work better. We faced a lot of problems because we lost 6 days to snow, and our lead operator--the only one who can really handle our arm--is getting back from Colorado late tonight.

Anyway...I'm going to be interested in how things go tomorrow. It seemed like there were some extremely capable bots (1276, 121, and 133 come immediately to mind, although there were others), and then a huge field of robots who had quite a bit of trouble.

Thoughts?
