If you think that RAGE came into that scrimmage with weeks of practice, a fully operational robot, and a strategy, you should wake up. We used this opertunity as a practice. None of the drivers had touched the controlls until that night. Instead of having only two drivers, we used the time as a tryout. We let everybody that wanted to, drive, no matter what their skill level was. Also, the first three matches we played in, we had a communication problem with the competition ports, if we had been up and running then, we would have probably won and added another 20+ points to our score. We 2 wern't finished with our robot, we hadn't had the limit switches on, nor did we run in high gear.
So if you take that scrimmage as a scouting report of RAGE, you'll be very suprised to see us when we are all set.

P.S. Almost every match we were in, we competed 1 aginst 2.
And we did push OTIS off the ramp, so it didn't matter if they could hang or not then.
So we'll just hafta wait untill the regionals...
