We have had some of the craziest days at competitions this year in Philly. Like yesterday we had our carrier plates close to failing so we spent like an hour and a half replacing them with the hardened ones. This was not as easy as it sounds our robot does not make it easy to get to our transmissions. And then today the left side drive system just stopped so we thought it might be the pins falling out since we had heard of that problem it turns out we were right we lost all five carrier pins on the left side drive. We found some new plates thanks to team 708 but they were different gear ratio so we took apart the right side drive and found out we had lost four of the pins on that side and would have lost the last one very soon. this whole time we managed not to miss one match while fixing the robot even winning one when our human player threw a tube on the rack and the other two robots drove up on our ramps we didn't even have to move. But now we have the whole thing back together and it works again hopefully we can get some new plates from banebots that will hold up to stress of competitions. I love this regional it is crazy loud and very competitive. Well we will see everyone tomorrow and hopefully have some more great scoring and competitive matches.
