Go to Post I would suggest spending a few more hours digesting the manual before you finalize your designs. You seem to have missed a few key rules. - GaryVoshol [more]

Joe,

Thank you so much for the kind words! No worries about last year, you guys were great!

As for this year, I do think you would be impressed with our machine. Once we grab a goal, we latch on and go pickin! Our machine drives around with a goal on its back and sucks up balls and scores them immediately, with very few misses, if any. We also have the ability to store 10 - 15 balls when we don't have a goal, then we deliver them. Our latching mechanism makes it easy for us to release, and our high gear gets us in the enzone in seconds flat.

Our performance at the UTC regional should serve notice that there will be very good machines NOT participating in the Nationals. Our QP's in NE was 114, almost 30 points higher than Rage, the #2 seed. And I believe the highest in any regional.

Alas, with the rules being as they are, we were not initially qualified for Epcot. Therefore, we made a team decision to take all of our funds and participate in as many 'local' regionals as possible. We attended Long Island, 8th seed, losing in the semi's, Philly, #1 seed, winning the championship, and NE, #1 seed, losing in the semis plus the quality award (did I mention that we have had only one minor repair to our robot after all of those matches).

We would love nothing more than to take a shot at the big prize, but we don't have the funds.

We will be back, and we will be in Florida next year!
