Re: 2007 New Hampshire Regional (BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional)

Who's gearing up for New England's first regional of the season? I'll be coaching for 1276.

Did anyone take a camera to BAE's robot revealing deal? Or are those teams trying to keep their robots a secret? Last year BAE hosted pictures of it on their site, but this year there is no such gallery.



On the subject of those doing scouting before the regional, if you're interested...

1276

4 ft
120 lbs

6wd (all of which are tread covered)
3 speeds (4fps, 10fps, 15fps)

Tube scoring on all levels
Spoiler removal on all levels

Pickup from the floor only

Capable of climbing steep ramps, providing you don't have have high guide rails on the inside edge

EG
We can climb a ramp like this |_____ _____|
But not like this |______| |_____| (unless the inside rails are shorter than 1.5")

Ramps and Autonomous: Ask me Friday morning.
