Smile Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional

We did very well yesterday (5-1-0)
We were against 254 for two times during the Qualification matches, and either game was with super good robots, we thought.... "AHHH there goes our ranking" but surprisingly we won both, and both are so CLOSE!! Luckily for us , we got on the ramps both times, so thats 30 points by itself!
out of the 5 matches we won, 2 matches we had ringers stuck on our lift so we couldn't touch other ringers, and 1 match our ramp was hit by another robot, so it fell out in the beginning, so we can't "score" anything, good thing i think 2024 put a couple ringers and among with our other alliance , so in the end one of our alliance got on our ramp so we got to win the match. With our ramp design, we can still move and adjust position even with the ramp down! And when we don't need our ramps, we can easily detach them so our robot would be lighter and faster and it would be easier to climb on other ramps!!
during the match that we lost, it was like one on one considering our only alliance got DQed , but we still did pretty well, put we 3 ringers in a row, which was pretty good.
so of our 3 "no-problem" matches, we score 2-3 ringers.
we added something to the lift so ringers can no longer get stuck on the lift!
hope we can score a lot more today

Currently ranked 3 (the last time i checked at least), but we still have 2 more matches to go!

Good Luck everyone!!
