Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
Hey, I'd like to start this post off by mentioning that both alliances played their best and deserved to win the regional.
/*However being a member of 115, and being a key member of the robots design team and pit crew, I have a certain bias to my team.*/
Even though I know the ruling of the referees is absolute, I do not support their opinion of having the rematch. We were declared the winners (by the referees), were sent back to the pits and started crating our robot....Then we got the news of the upcoming rematch.
I'd also like to add that when fixing the robot in between the matches, there was significant damage caused to our robot that had to have been intentional and in no way could have been accidental. For example, a steel 3/8 in drive axle was bent due to the overly aggressive actions of the opposing alliance. This threatened our chances of continuing on.
/*Once again, this post is not to place any blame.*/
Also, I would like to greatly thank team 192, 8 and 2024 for using their timeout to allow us the chance to fix our elevator spool. Also, I would like to thank the nameless members of team 100's drive crew who assisted me in my quick fix of the spool.
