original powerhouse

to answer Andy Grady's question....

We started in 1997, and from watching tapes of the '96 competition we really thought of Tigerbolt (RIT-Edison Tech) as the powerhouse team.

When we got to our first regional ever (Rutgers, '97, what a blast) they were pretty near us in the pits, so we often looked over their way to see what they were up to. (This was pre-alliance days so imho teams were not as forthcoming about their capabilities and weaknesses.)

We were geared for decent speed, and in one of the early matches they pushed us around with their better torque. Because of that, we geared it down for Nationals.

Ah, memories of the days when the window motor was considered powerful....

Ken
