Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
I see what you meant, 100 and 254 were the clear hurdlers. We were only chosen because we have an effective ball removing system (having removed several per match during the qualifiers). Yet, steel shafts don't bend on their own, and sadly robots don't cripple themselves.
And 1 more side note, this is a bit funny:
During the final matches, the leads to one (out of two) of our elevator drive motors was disconnected. This is why we were struggling to do take it off in the 3rd match.
In our motor configuration, when only 1 motor is driving, 75% of the elevators power is lost. (Due to the motor not only having to drive the elevator, but also having to back-drive a 108:1 planetary gearbox not pulling its own weight)
Thank you very much for your input, I've always liked both your team and your team name.
