Re: What Happens When Metal Gets Into A Jaguar (SMOKE!!!!)

Dwayne,

Is was a pleasure working with you guys. You kept your calm and took the suggestions well. It was comical when we turned your bot upside down to clean it and a 2" long 1/4-20 bolt fell out. My team members stared at each other and grinned, because we've had similar things happen! Your programmer was very helpful too - he was ready to change your program any way he needed to so that your bot would run.

While we gave you that jag, it was actually Team 1856, The Gearheads that lent it to US! They were our next-door neighbors in the pits and when we saw what happened, we ran and asked them for a spare. We only used victors this year to save money (reused last years), so we actually didn't have a jag at the competition. Specifically their head mentor Richard Gaston had it handy when we asked him.

We had fun teaming with you guys out on the field, and we hope to see you next year.
