Re: Team 25 2008 Unveiling

the repeated movies were practice rounds 1-2-3-4 etc.

yes- we pick up from pushing into an object- and we are always 4-6 ft from something. Don't be disappoiinted because we aren't. There is less to break and I am sure we will see arms and fingers bending all over the place in this game. Also- it allows all our rookie partners to load us from behind and keep going. We practiced with push bots running laps and feeding balls into the quadrant and easily hurdled 5 in 2 minutes. In the practice rounds we were trying to shoot the ball into the practice base or catch it on the bounce. It kind of works- for the off season fun!

In practice we have gotten up to 7 hurdles in a 2 minute round. Obviously that will be less in real life.

Our auto lap is 10 secs and on a good run we make 1.5 laps plus knocking 2 balls off.

This is the simplest robot we have made in a long time- but also one of the most effective. See you all on the floor.
