2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics - Chestnut Hill FIRST Robotics District Competition

[Akash Rastogi]

Surprised a thread for this is not up.

We have some intense matches coming up in MAR this coming weekend.

341, 1218, 357, 486, and 708 will all be back this weekend after major success at Hatboro. Joining them will be 222, 365 and 816 just to name a few.

Should be intense and exciting.

Here's what 3929 will be bringing to the table: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=C2ysQLRodQ8

Specs:
8wd 4 CIMs kit wheels
rs550's for intake and vertical feed
2x 0673's on a custom gearbox powering the shooter (two 6"x2" Colson Performas)
Window motor on the hood

Turret may be locked for our first event as a motor just shorted on us. So we'll be using the drive to aim with the camera.

We're lagging behind on targeting code, mounting some last minute sensors, and some driver practice but hopefully things aren't too rough for us at Chestnut Hill! See you all there.

222 is looking forward to competing at Chestnut Hills for the first time. We can't wait to see how the field stacks up.

Here's our specs:

8wd
4 cims through our 2 speed tigerdrive
fisher price 9013 driving our pick-up roller
two window motor winch for controlling bridge
window motor powered turret with rotational sensor
two banebots 775 powered shooter wheel (yes we've tested em, yes they are good, yes we have a failure plan that we don't expect to use)
pneumatic hood control
pneumatic shooter wheel feed.

I forgot to mention an outstanding rookie from Hatboro - 4342 was a strong 2pt dunker and I think will be a solid partner here as well.

Chestnut Hill will be a great time! Peter and Rob have put a lot of hard work into planning, and it will be a great time!

708 is anxiously awaiting Friday Morning~

That should be the official webcast according to my info. 1218 does great A/V work so it should be a good show.
Only a few hours to go, I'm psyched for my first MAR District event.

^Even better. If there is an official one, I wont do mine. I couldn't find one.

Getting excited for Chestnut Hill! Looking forward to seeing everyone over the next few days.

Compete well and be safe!

Anyone else having trouble with the match results page? Or is it just me? Mine keeps jumping to WPI.
