Riddler's Revolution provided a nice place to play, but unfortunately were still working on their robot & weren't on the field.

The teams present were (hopefully this includes everyone & bear in mind I mentor NON-engineering areas):
945 - Quiet, smooth & robust dumper (crab drive?)
1390- Low profile with a place to collect moon rocks
1557- Harvests into a spiral bin which delivers balls to a shooter
1649- Wide bot harvester, quick & very maneuverable, possible shooter to be added
2023- Brush harvester, internal "net" hammock to hold & releases balls
2797- Picked up balls & blocked, tall (& loud )

Thanks to everyone for the fun & to Disney, who I heard provided the regolith. It was to be moved post scrimmage to a hanger at the airport where all teams can use it with a practice bot until FL Regionals (Barry Bonzack knows details). Sorry we missed seeing you, Michelle.
945 had a linkage steering on the front wheels, it was pretty cool though
