[Tom Bottiglieri]

We were having a score of problems today. First, we needed to disassemble our transmissions and put in new side plates. We also needed to drop 5 pounds off the bot. Doing these things brought us to about 2:00, and we were only able to compete in 2 practice rounds. In the first, our motors were wired back wards, and the program was reversing sides, so the bot was near impossible to drive.

In our first match, our camera locked on to the target with no problem, but I overlooked a break statement in the code, which caused the robot to never enter tracking mode. In our second match up, the backup battery was dead, and we did not have connection to the camera (doh!).

I am pretty confident we should be able to track the vision tetra tomorrow, and hopefully after we fix a few bugs we can pour all of our recourses into making that happen.
