Go to Post I am a mentor now and I would be more proud of a National Chairmans Award which acknowledges my many years of service to the team and the community rather than a National Championship which acknowledges one great robot I helped build. - The Lucas [more]

Calling 'em as I see 'em...

I am not going to say that team 365's robot is not a marvel, because it is very impressive. Thanks for the video.

But... I am really thinking that, unless I am very much mistaken, their robot is not likely to survive 2 matches in a row without serious damage.

I hope they have built a lot of spare parts.

I mean no insult, I am just calling 'em as I see 'em.

I think 122 did it best. at vcu they were the #1 seed and picked us. they did an excellent job at doing whatever we needed. they also picked 384, which was the only other 3-goal grabber at richmond. they knew our capabilities and knew how they could help us. when we had the three goals and the other team was trying to push us back, they were on the other side of our arm holding us still. if anyone from 122 is reading this, we hope we get to play with you guys again, you are an awesome group. I heard you'll also be at drexel, so we'll see you again there.

Thank you for your very kind words. Finals at Richmond was just a sorry state for us three teams. Three broken robots tend not to do so well! Doing a drop down without our shock absorber deployed (turns out a limit switch got bent closed after the previous match) bent us up pretty bad but everything is back to 100% now. Hope you had fun even though we didn't make it as far as we wanted!

~Tom Fairchild~, who also wants to play against a three goal bot sometime just to see what its like.

sorry to hear that you got banged up too. I was busy trying to find parts for ours to fix what we broke to watch that last match (which by the sounds of things from everyone, it was pretty ugly so I didn't miss much). but anyway, we're glad to hear that you're all right. we have some things to fix, but we know what needs work now and we'll be awesome by drexel. hope to play with you guys again soon.

If you saw 3.0 in the second match, you saw it all. It litteraly almost toppled over and only one wing went down half the way. The team that won sat behind us and shook our hands, great GP guyes.

Again, thanks for the words and thanks for your great performance. We lost the second match by a tie-breaker, all while our drive train was in terrible shape (from the fall w/o the shock absorber--all the chains were *terribly* loose, and a bolt fell off on the wheel mount, making it move), so we can't feel too bad, we did our best. Oh, and can't wait to see you guys in Philly ... I think you've made a few of our team members honorary MOE members (they have the bandana and wood blocks, and they're crazy about you)

Yeah, MOE suffered pretty bad through that final elim match, but i think this short dialogue sums is up.

Match has been played, parts from robots are strewn all over the playing field.
Referee hands Human Player our center gripper


REF: Here's your center gripper.
HP: Thanks...

HP puts gripper on cart.

d'oh!

all of you guys are honorary moe members. we were all so happy that we got picked by such an awesome team. I think most everyone agrees (from all of our teams and others) that if we all didn't break, we'd have been an unstoppable alliance. with two goal grabbers and a robot powerful enough to keep us from moving, you had a solid elimination round strategy that would have worked perfectly. we're working through some things at home now and will be up and running in no time. see you guys in philly.

Cool Howdy...

thanks again, 122, like simon said... good luck all at nationals and your next regional! it promises to be fun, i'll see some of you at philly i'm sure, and we'll be making a few modifications that will make MOEHawk beastlier than ever, a few structural additions, and some other things will be made/added at philly, so don't count us out yet! i hope everyone learned as much as we did at VCU, because strength is more imparative than ever... once again, good luck all!

MOE bot

ps- stupid washers

yes Simon, I agree... STUPID WASHERS!!! And remember... we must wear our "pit-beotch" necklaces with pride. For only we shall be given the wacky pit jobs... like fileing the edges of 40 washers. oh well... It turned out to be fun.

And my poor center pusher! (single tear rolls down face.) It never got to prove it's worth. Oh well... I heart making spare parts.

And I also heart 122 -the NASA knights- your castle is very close to swanky, and you all know I luv you guys; You've been honorary MOE members ever since Science Day in DC. When we got to hang out at the hotel, the offices, that silly 'dinner' thing, and the train station together. To bad Dean wouldn't let us ride the I-bot. oh well...

PS- Does MaryDawn post on Chief Delphi Tom?

-Ducky-

and so we shall always have the stupid pit jobs. oh well, those jobs have to be done by someone (I only wish lou'd pick someone else).

anyway, to dave's comment, we did learn a lot from richmond including what we need to change. now all we have to do is finish all these things by wednesday. I just hope joe doesn't make us stay too late, cause I like sleep.
