Re: Did anyone share Minibots?

In Pittsburgh, Team 1507 loaned us their backup to their extremely quick minibot design. After fabricating an adapter for our deployment, we successfully deployed their minibot in our final qualifying match, earning 1507 the Coopertition Award.

Even though 1507 chose us for the elims, inconsistency in using our swing arm deployment with their smaller minibot led us to return to using our larger, slower, yet far more reliably-deployed minibot design in the elims. This reliability came in handy in more than one match and helped the alliance make it to the finals. We are now working to improve our swing arm to work with minibots such as this.

By the way...Smoky Mountain Regional teams...two 1/2" diameter vertical aluminum pegs with a 4" center to center spacing...just sayin....

Fun fact - 1503 *almost* won the Pittsburgh Coopertition Award, because the volunteer mistakenly wrote their number down when our drive team checked in - another volunteer saw this and caught it in time! I'm sure that would have been quite an amusing sequence of events during the awards ceremony...*imagines "Yakety Sax" playing*.
