: omigod, i cant believe i forgot to mention 237!! all I can say is that when i saw that entire wooden frame unbend into a ramp, i was amazed. The only flaw I could see in it was the speed, but if anything, i bowed to it when i first saw it in the practice rounds.
I personally like to consider the original TRIBE-bot a work of art and a labor of love instead of a formidable robot. During one match, we were thrilled simply to see that the thing worked, no matter the score.
: but definitely, do not apologize as your team had been so helpful if otherwise with your hero booth and your security officers.
I wish we could have used the Booth Buddies (security officers). Noone signed one out, and I think we were dissapointed by this. Maybe next year we'll know how to utilize it better, but I'm glad we got the idea out.
: As for this TRIBE BOT.... something tells me from the picture that I should be afraid
. Good luck in florida and i hope to be teamed with you guys again. (We'll make it count this time!).
As I've said before, only time will tell. I personally think the divisions will help us at Nationals, but I know that we will only do the best we can.
: oh and by the way, the RAMBOT is still as BAD and BEAUTIFUL as ever... but an added feature especially...... the speed has been increased 15% !!!
: uh oh......... The RAMBOT..... at a Florida near you.
I have to say, the Rambots is one of the teams I felt deserved to do so well at UTC. I can't wait to see your bot in FL.
By the way, how many Rambots are you taking to FL with you, Anton? I want to see as many red football jerseys at FL that I saw at UTC.
