It was great to see 2888 out there and running smooth after diagnosing a number of control system and electrical/mechanical woes over the competition. What was inspiring to me was their kids NEVER got frustrated over their robot not working, and were always positive about trying a new configuration to determine what the problem was.
Mike, if you were the fellow I met and chatted about gate drivers and Jaguars, thanks for lending some expertise to 2888. Boston was definitely busy from a tech support standpoint, especially without taking into account some of the truly oddball problems I saw both on and off the field.
Speaking of shout-outs, big props to the Nu-Trons team 125. The Ask an Engineer desk was definitely busy all 3 days, answering questions and handing out tools/parts that the Spares Desk often couldn't provide. A major benefit of coming to Boston!
