only thing worth mentioning is 229. they got their robot working finally. and when it works it really works well. ONLY 100% GENIUNE KING OF THE HILL that i have seen this year. their wings are gaint wedges and looks impossible to go over. 905 tried and i stress the word tried. the got beached on the top of a wing for the last minute of the match. after that match a programming mistake made sure 229 didnt move the entire match. cant wait to see them tommorrow. the match were 905 got beached 229 scored a high 220's match bringing them from almost last place to around 20ish. hopefully teams in the top 8 will see how well they work and decide to choose them for an alliance.
I saw how frustated and saddened 229 was after struggling through all sorts of mechanical, electrical and programming problems. John V was telling me early on that it looks like houston will be were they will be fixed. But from that one match, if they can get it working they will be a force to be reckoned with.
