Re: Most Exciting Final?
Basically what happened in FM3 of SD is 330 turned around and went back to obtain a trackball with their ball arms open. 294 was rounding the corner and the 2 robots plowed into each other. One of 330's highly powerful ball corralling arms got jammed into 294's lift system and they became entangled. Fortunately they were able to break apart near the end.
294 went on to keep 330 from getting a trackball to place and then got in front of 987, sent up their lift, to make sure they could not place.
Upon closer inspection after the match, it was discovered that we had actually sustained a bit of damage from the entanglement. The 3rd stage of our lift became dislodged and there were scrapes of yellow paint inside o_0. Luckily, this was repaired before recrating so 294 should be ready to swing when LA comes around. This time, we hope to prove the functionality of our lift hurdling during practice and qualifications so that we end up being seeded and not 47th. Also look for us to be testing out new autonomous.
We hope that 330 and 294 get to compete or even get to be allied together at LA. We also look forward to seeing our partners again: 1717 in LA and 968 in Atlanta.
