we attended 2 regionals and nationals (was supposed to be 3 regionals) and we've attended Rally in the Valley, Mayhem on the Merrimack, and Battlecry so far.. with plans to head to Maryland State Fair, Riverrage, and Bash at the Beach still ahead.

Anyone at Mayhem and Battlecry knows that our robot has taken a beating and has a lot of spares on it (new wings, entire new front frame, new cables, etc). We haven't replaced any motors and all is still looking well in that department

But this year's robot has NOTHING on last year;s.... we're right about 70 appearances with Gompei2k1, including 8 competitions (7 FIRST/off-season last year, battlecry placebo this year). All the rubber is worn off the wheels, but that baby is still cruising. I don't think we've replaced a motor yet, and we've done very little body repair. And these are all 1hour+ demo's with at least 10 elementary/middle school kids driving it! They definitely don't go easy on it!...

And oh yeah, it's got at least another 20 hours of practice that have been done on it with our drivers...


It's much more interesting to demo with than 2k2 though, so we'll continue on using it... Gompei2k1 will never die
