2012 Oklahoma Regional

[Woolly]

S.W.A.T. is totally amped up for this one, and with any luck, we won't be needing 2410 (and 3764) to push us onto our wheels this time. (Though I vastly prefer that to ending up helpless the whole match. Thanks again for endangering your robot to help ours.)

It most certainly was not a problem for us. We've been in that tipped over helpless position before and it's really not fun to have to walk out to the field at the end and right everything/check on everything working. It's always a good feeling to see a tipped robot working seconds later. If you need us, we'll be sure to help you *rebound*. FIRST pun in this thread! (And now there's two.)

Luckily for us, "Mike Wazowski" (The green eyeball guy from Monsters Inc.), as we're nicknaming our robot, already has a bit of a track record of taking hits, flips, and general game-related impact well. All our damage has been cosmetic issues (a paint scratch and a bent electronics cover) that don't really cause issues with anything. Every time we do something that we think should've killed it, it just comes back ready to rumble (Making it three puns just for good measure).

There usually is a stream.

Our robot, the Black Knight, appropriately ended Kansas City armless. It's just a flesh wound. We're looking forward to improved performance in Oklahoma.

The Saints can't wait! We have a ramp and part of a bump we can bring for a practice field if they're needed. We're also from near OKC, so we're more than happy to help if rookie teams have any problems or questions about the area. And if someone finds somewhere it is going to be streamed,if they would post the link here I would be eternally in your debt. I'll post one if I find one too.

Look forward to seeing everyone. Competition is always a blast.

[CalTran]

With competition a week away, how is everyone coming along? Any thoughts, comments, or concerns?
Team 2410 is returning to Oklahoma, and hoping to sweep the field as we did back in 2010 and regain our footing as competitive veterans after our major loss in Greater Kansas City.
But as well, we are hoping to help out the teams attending OKC in any way that we can. With a little over half of the field being teams who're above 3000, we'd like them to know that we are always willing and available to help your robot improve, even if that means we're giving you the necessary tools to take us out in the finals.

There's just one week left until we see each other. Let's hope this week passes fast; competition is great, and the GP is higher here than any other competition.

We are attending Oklahoma this weekend, but haven't received very many team updates. Does anyone have information on where to go for Load-In and parking?

Regional information was sent to us today via e-mail. If you have not received that information, let me know and I can forward it to you.

I got ahold of the coordinator today and got the information. Thanks.
