Re: Competition time logged..
With the end of Triple Play our 2005 robot has seen, I think 10, if not more competitions, three of which were FIRST events.
Our 2005 robot has also competed in SIX or more states.
I'm do not know exactly how many matches the robot has seen, but I am sure it is near, if not more than 100.
Throughout that time we never had any major breakdowns or complications.
We did have to do routine maintenance such as greasing the transmissions, tightening bolts, et cetera.
The major problem we had this year was with the Spectra cable that never seemed to stop stretching on our lift, which required frequent tensioning.
I do not recall any major problems in which parts bent or broke.
However, our robot has seen a beating and it looks as if it has been through a war. There are many dings and scratches, we also seem to have lost some our graphics including our team number.
I don't have too many complaints with our 2005 machine, even though we struggled to get a robot built this year.
