[EWCP] RoBroCast: Post Championship Edition.

[waialua359]

I would love to participate and talk about our road to the CMP Chairman's Award.
I think its safe to say that unlike many of the previous Hall of Fame winners, our journey is quite different (or most similar to that of 842). As I look at the list of previous winners, I cant help but still be amazed that FIRST put us in the same company with such great teams.
In a way, a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. And we are very excited in focusing our efforts with a new and revised program to improve robot building and outreach WEST of Hawaii.

The Cast should be able to be played directly from Facebook assuming that your Flash is updated to the correct version. Just press the play button and you should be good to go.

If that doesn't work, here's a direct link: http://schreiaj.com/Brocast/2011_Cha..._Up_Edited.mp3

Thanks for the help.

The fire extinguisher was for one of our minibots. The battery was physically damaged and shorted because of it so Aiden ran and grabbed a fire extinguisher to put it out. Our pit crew was busy trying to replace the gas spring on our arm that broke loose in Einstein Semi-Finals 2-2, so they didn't notice the smoke coming out while they were working.

BTW We were already in the process of swapping out Garfield for Snowball I, 2 of our mini-bots/bobkittens, for that match because we smelled something was wrong with it in the backstage pit between matches.

Also 781 worked fine backstage between matches tethered up, we had no reason to believe they wouldn't work in the second finals match. The option to pull them was discussed but given that we were in a similar situation last year and HOT and Beach City gave us the benefit of the doubt and let us play in Final 1-2 so we could win together, our alliance did the same for 781.
