At the NASA Ames regional my team's 'bot didn't work until match five. It then racked up enough points to boost it into 9th and finaly end the qualifying matches at 11th seed. We were then picked by the #1 seed and eventually were taken out of the runnings in the semifinals. If that had been Florida, we'd be out. My team would be devistated. Our robot wasn't just a fancy looking paperweight, but that's how it would have seemed after the fourth match. We've got almost six weeks before florida, and if that's enough time to build a robot it seems as if it should be enough time to fix this problem!
