Re: UCF Regional Competition

UCF was a blast! My congratualations goes out to everybody.

But there was a lot that could be improved/changed. I have a lot of complaints about it.

$2.00 for water! Come on! at school from the machines its $1.00 and the same size. Its monoplozied. Not that I didn't mind the change of venue but NASA didn't try to sucker away our money.

The Pit...out in the tent

1) The was holes in the "roof" and the sides were not flush with the ground and the "roof" letting water in. That ruins equipment. (386 on Friday was under at least and inch of water) In 180's pit we had a leak above our table that had a personal lathe and milling machine on it.

2) Humidity....from that to AC = condensation, meaning there may have been problems with bot that were out in the pit tent. I think that one of the problems with our robot.

3) A pit and it slopes....not that its major problem but its easier not to have the cart with the robot on sliding down towards the back of the pit when you're trying to fix it.

4) The back gate being closed for one its a fire hazard, two its more convienent to go out the back as many teams parked on that side of the arena.

Furthermore a few teams should have been disqualified, for violating DQ Rule 5 (the one that deals with intentionally damaging the playing field/its compents) and ramming other robots which I saw in the few matches that I watched.
