I competed in Robotica with Hamerschlag. I was in FIRST during HS, team 10, and my teammate was also in FIRST on team 267. That was supposed to be the "focus" of our team and I tried to talk up FIRST a bit, but it was kind of hard to get into specifics.
The event was more fun than FIRST or Battlebots, but as a competition it was less challenging and technical. Not a big deal since we were totally outmanned, outsmarted, and outbudgeted. I only got a month of build time and I pretty much scraped together some parts from my middleweight Battlebot, so it turned out underweight, underpowered, and rather boring visually. Fortunately our events turned out to be pretty exciting and we did pretty well; especially considering we were worked pretty much through the night the days before.
The show begins this Wednesday, April 4th, and airs every Wednesday at 9PM (and midnight I think.) Our episode is the first one on April 18th; they show two a night.
