Re: Gali-leo!
Fly out tomorrow. I can't wait.
I feel we might be one of those sleeper teams people have been talking about. We were one of the last two to get in off of the wait list.
The robot was designed as an autonomous 3 point shooter. We turned out drive train sideways and it is awesome. Bad luck with equipment and partners gave us a low ranking at the NJ regional. The judges noticed us, but the other teams didn't. So goes random pairings.
Considering what we have read here, we will change our strategy. A lot of luck goes into being a top eight seed so we will focus on getting noticed by one of those teams. Since there so many big guns out there, we will be focusing on defense. Our goal is to be noticed as the utility defense bot that can score if needed if our big gun partner goes down. Our main task is to shut down the top shooter on the other team. Its not that we can't shoot, we can, but rather play a team strategy. Also, we can harvest from the floor. Top loader big guns may like this in a partner.
I think the ideal team has two big guns and one bully. In my opinion a three point shooting bully (us) is better than a dumper.
Thats my sales pitch. Keep an eye out for us. You can't miss the sideways drive train and GIANT green bicycle wheel shooter.
TEAM 637
Good Luck All
