Re: Week 2: Any new lessons learned?

In San Diego, we DQed in the Semifinals because we were repeatedly being pushing into the opponent's scoring zone because we only used 2 CIMs. I had warned of this from the beginning of the build season and that we had to use 4 CIMs. We made it to Semis with only a working minibot. My mentor said not to use the arm at all because the drivers never practiced with it. We had great drivers, I believe that our code was next to undrivable but my mentor did not authorize uploading of new code. We knew the problem and fixed it in a minute, but we never uploaded it because the drivers were on a roll. I was very very surprised we made it this far with a dysfunctional robot. At first, we were even worried that we would be even able to put the robot in the field.


We learned that speed of the minibot has to be upped. We left our fast motors at the shop because our mentors and the team captain did not want to "cheat" (they still believe it is illegal... Even though I disproved it weeks ago)

So in other words, no one ever listened to me because they thought I had no idea what I was talking about because all I do is program. NOW they believe me and we will dominate in LA

Listen to David, he may not seem to know what he is talking about when he criticizes the robot, but he is doing it for the good of the team and to improve the robot.
