: I have heard interesting things about certain matches from Chicago, everything from a team gettings tossed off the bar, to the bar having to be taken off in order to get a team off, even that the kinks have been worked out of many of the bots. If anyone has any footage from this, could they please post and tell us where we can find it?

Hey everyone!
Um yeah...that was our robot that got stuck on the bar!
For everyone watching and for the people from FIRST who were trying to help us...it turned out to be that two of the teeth in the gear at the wrist joint got smashed together so the joint wouldn't pivot. But anyway...we got over the embarrassment pretty quickly and now we're looking for some footage of those few minutes we were stuck (in the form of a copy of some video tape) to use for amusement purposes.
Team 66, is it true that you guys have some tape??? If so, it would be much appreciated! But anyway...now at least we know that once our robot gets on the bar during the match, it won't come down until we say it can! Thanks to everyone for a great regional and good luck to all in Florida!
