After breaking it on Friday night at the Rock Financial Showplace, the team got it working on Saturday in time for our last 5 matches.

Of course, the joystick controls are very touchy, and it's difficult to be thinking about driving and using the arm simultaneously, but once you get accustomed to it, it is easier to control the robot. Mind you, the only video game I play is Soul Calibur, because it's the only one I can win. Because I button mash. I'm not sure why they let me drive...

I think if we go with the PS2 controls for competition next year, we'll have to controllers. One for drive, one for the manipulator. It'll be easier to control that way, and it will get more people out on the field during competition.

They've been working on this all summer, and it's really good to see that they were able to make it work!

Good work to Eric, Derek and Jake!
