Hey!! First year driver, First year arm operator, First year Human Player(s), First year Coach, First Year Scouts, for 13 of 19 of the students who went to the Bayou it was their first competition. Trust me, their ego is in check. Anyways they did a terrific job at Bayou and a "non-call" away from a possible blue banner - I'm impressed.
This year's game cannot be dominated by any one bot. Every team has to know their strengths and everyone else's too. We had enough foresight to have kept to a reliable and proven arm design (prop's to Alekat, Travis, Salik, and that '05 crew) and even simpler yet durable drive system. Switching from 2 so-so ramps to 1 "easy to use" ramp should also give us more options.
There are some great teams coming to Davis - we just can't wait. Keep an eye for some local rookies as well, Team 2085 from Vaca High School, Team 2189 from Woodland/Pioneer High School, Team 2156 from Hiram Johnson High School in Sacramento, and Team 2073 from Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove. Also are some new teams from San Leandro, Carmel and Turlock. Let's be sure to show them what GP is all about and make it a memorable event for them and all of us.
