Hmm...sounds fun. I remember the ones at Nationals always being a good time.

So far I have seen kiwi 3397, swerve 1444, mecannum 1208, 4 wheel KOP 3862, and 6 wheel pneumatic 3885. I have a feeling that Saint Louis should be fairly close this year.

And team 1706 will be showing off their octocanum drive train!

Where would you ever get that idea? Ooh, and thanks about the drivetrain!

I think that the competition here will be interesting this year (then again, isn't it always?).
I was hoping that this year our team would finally be able to go to the team social, however our school musical overlaps the competition this year so we'll be scurrying out of Chaifetz to get back to school as soon as possible. >_>

We don't really have any pictures, so you'll just have to come see our bot in person this weekend.

We didn't have the advantages of a mocked practice field or the large build space we have had for the past two years this year, so we're really looking forward to this weekend so that we can see how well we can play this year's game.

See you all later this week!

Oh, and if any teams need any help with programming (LabVIEW) or anything else, you're welcome stop by our pit, we'll be more than willing to help.

Same goes for 1444. We will be super busy Thursday, but we are always willing to help out other teams. We can help with C++, wiring, or any mechanical stuff.

I'm the Chief Electrical Officer for Team 1208, and we've definitely packed away enough parts to build an entirely new electrical board, complete with spare cRIO and modules. From the looks of our mechanical bins, we could probably build an entirely new robot.
If anyone forgets a part or needs to borrow a spare, I'm sure one of the teams in our area can provide an extra and would be more than happy to do so.
Also, if they arrange the pits like they did last year, the oldest veteran teams should be directly across from the newest rookie teams, so make sure to visit your neighbors.

It's amazing how much junk, err stuff, a team accumulates over the years.

836 will see you there! We earned the 2013 Palmetto Regional Chairman's Award.
