Hi Colleen,

Our team (312)has been relatively quiet since our win a KSC. Team 312 is ready to help our Archimedes division team members. I was please to see that our partners from the KSC finals 343, 57, and 538 are in our division along with many other excellent teams. I would like to provide our division members with ACCURATE data regarding our robot. Our robot can very effectively switch gears making us very fast or very powerful. From the start position, we go over the bridge to the other side in 5-7 seconds. We can easily and quickly load big balls on the goal, grab the goal and balance one goal on the bridge from the floor in less than 40 seconds. If needed, we can hook both goals to our robot and balance, however this maneuver is not part of our major scoring strategy. We can push both goals and balance the bridge (from the floor) preferably with a partner who moves the starting side goal over the bridge. We did not have the opportunity to perform this task at KSC. My driver and arm operator are very experienced (this is their 2nd season). Finally, no matter which teams are allied with us, we plan to complete all of our matches in less than 60 seconds. These are the HONEST facts regarding our robot's abilities. I hope this helps my alliance partners to be.
