St Louis Notes

Here is a quick update from the St. Louis Regional:

(I am currently at the team party, at the St. Louis Science center)

Robots at St. Louis are running pretty well. There are alot of first and second year teams, but many look like seasoned vets.

One of the best highlights I saw was when two Indianapolis rookies got together in an alliance... team 1018 was on the HDPE, and they deployed a ramp behind them. Team 1024 rode up on their ramp and both were awarded 25 points. This round is surely a strong candidate for "play of the day"... and it was by 2 rookies!

Baxter Bomb Squad looks strong as usual. They are very quick.

Team 547 is consistently knocking over the entire stack in auto mode... very efficent and effective.

There are many robots with huge honkin' wheels here... very nice.

Team 868 is stacking pretty well... but they have a low seed.

There are not too many stackers out there. The ones who are doing it seem to be getting better, but a few are giving up on the stacker mentality and simply pushing totes.

I am mostly amazed by the quality of the teams with only 1-2 years of experience. They not only have robots that work well, but they also have canopy pits, overhead projectors, and they are sharing their scouting data. This is our first trip to St. Louis, and these teams over here have a good idea what GP means.

As for team 45, we are doing well. Things are getting tweaked and we are having some fun. Hopefully, things will go well tomorrow too.

later,

Andy B.
