Re: Robots gone.. Now what?
Re-acquaint ourselves with normal sleep patterns and family members...
We pulled off a major marathon session in the past week. Unfortunately, we didn't participate in the SoCal pre-ship scrimmage hosted by our partner team, High Tech High, because we were in hyper-panic mode. We received some very gracious assistance from teams attending the scrimmage, especially team 599 - Thanks, again!
Monday morning our two major assemblies were weighed and we came in at almost 150 pounds  . It's amazing what can happen in a little over a day. We put a robot in the crate today with all of our planned features available - with three fewer motors than in the original design. We didn't get much time to test for effectiveness and still have some trades to make at our first regional, but this afternoon we shipped a robot just under 120 pounds. The students and Wendy Wooten from Team 4 put in a tremendous effort and we think it will pay off big time later.
I'll try to post some photos later...after a bit of recovery time.
