....

I've been doing a lot of collecting too. Pictures of our robot are on our website: www.AdamBots.com
(uploading pictures from the MSC as I type!)

I'll dig through my folders to see if I have any pictures of any you don't have. I have pictures of robots from the Alamo Regional and a ton from up here in Michigan so It will be a while.

Very tough, lots of competition.

Hey now, don't put us in that box!

Adam, sorry I don't have any pictures handy from Dallas-East after we installed our second-gen pneumatic bridge-tipper.

If you play this video by 16 Bomb Squad... you could maybe do a screen-grab playing it in Hi-Def at approx. 1:20 of our 3481 competition bot.

PLUS... you'll spend about two minutes _enjoying_ 16 in all their glory!! ;-)

I hope not. Looking forward to seeing some triple balancing!

Respectfully submitted for your consideration.

I'm geeked to be on this field--lots of great competition, lots of old friends (and some that certainly qualify as both). Is it next Thursday yet?

I didn't even notice that Los Pollos Locos will be joining in on our fiesta! That means more Billfred!!!

Also, you can find the official team listing for Archimedes on the FIRST website here.

Well, we're dead. After seeding 19th at Oklahoma, and not having the strongest of robots this year, we're dead. Will Michigan's king 67 take the division? Or what about the island hopping Hawaiian Kids? With a strong performance at Lone Star, how can anyone compete against them? Though you could be the powerhouse from Atlanta who almost toppled the Kids. Yet still there is the Canadian dream team whose reputation proceeds them as "The best pair of robots in ALL of FIRST history," as pronounced by Karthik? But on top of all of these major power players, there's some come from the deep teams who could sneak up as the #1 seed...

At any rate, I can't wait to see how this plays out and boy are there plenty of teams I'll be picking the brains of.

Until then, don't ball too hard, can't wait to see who cuts the net.

I'm feeling excited. I only let my team know ~40 minutes ago, so I can't speak for them. 1 week from today!!

We are also excited to be playing on this field, definitely going to be tough.

I see a lot of big name teams here... This division is certainly the "one to watch".

[delsaner]

I would also like to bring up another important point...


ARCHI...!!

Archimedes is stacked, end of story!!

2949 PWNAGE is extremely excited for Champs! 2nd year in a row on Archimedes. We've updated, improved, and practiced a lot since Midwest, and we'll show some stuff here before Wednesday. We might have a new picture to add to the collection with all of our new gadgets.

edit: I forgot, here's our robot from the beginning of week 4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h55bFVPQbj8
