Thanks a bunch! What's really shocking is that we hadn't designed our robot for defense at all. In fact, we were using much the same setup as a lot of other teams. 2 toughboxes and sticky wheels. Our only difference was the 6 wheel articulation. You see, we had wanted to originally stay in the close zone, kick and herd to the goal, and then climb over the bump and elevate. Although, as you saw, our kicker needed programming, and our elevator needed reworking.
I guess it might be a good thing though...I mean, it did allow us to find our true calling as defenders, and all together our alliance was definitely quite potent. Thanks again for a great time in DC. I for one had a great time on the field with both the REX and Wild Cog drive teams. You guys are truly fantastic.
