Last Minute Changes

[MichaelBick]

At our First competition(San Diego), on the first day, we added our hopper and shooter onto the robot(we have a practice robot, so we new everything worked)

Then, in our first match, we completely destroyed our electronics board, by ramming into the bridge. This caused us to have to spend our whole first day of competition, not only rebuilding our electronics board, but also having to go through a redesign. In the end, we came up with the idea of an upside down electronics board, that used the back of the board to protect our electronics. Overall, we think it actually helped, as we cut a lot of weight off our previous, heavy electronics board, cleaned up the wiring, and made it worry free. The weight specifically helped because we were 10 lbs over. Furthermore we took our active bridge mechanism off. The funny part was that we used the front of our robot, which was accidentally designed with a wedge in the front, to push up the bridge for other teams, which ended up being helpful at speeding up getting on the bridge, in elims at LA.
