Re: VEX at 2010 IRI!

Jen S from Team 1640 shot this video of Jack driving the Team 1640 scoop flipper at IRI. There are two preliminary matches shown and the two finals against Chris is Me's robot.

There were problems with the robot flicking balls over the wall. At home we practice in a regular Clean Sweep field, the walls are taller. Jack and I talked about trying to change the angle of the scoop but it changed how the green balls scooped up. So we left it alone for the tournament.

Jack's average score was 40-48 points per match.

Thanks again to the other teams that played and to Karthik for setting this up.

And a big thank you to the Texas TSA team that was driven by a girl with long black hair, your scoop design worked really well. When we put it on the servo to flip it it worked great. (Her design carried it up and over the robot and then the wall)
