It's definitely an improvement from when your cart had backwards flames from 2009. Unless that IS the same cart just with flashy lights All in all it looks fantastic.

We have come a long way in only those few years. Our cart growth was unprecedented and dare I say, revolutionary, to our team. The cart is now the pillar of inner growth and team bonding, together we stand united.

The Mad Rockers are headed down this afternoon fresh from the Peachtree Regional, with 17 students and 12 mentor/parent/chaperones, quick feeding (the robot and the team ) and an autonomous 3 point shooter all dialed in. We've decided to change directions on the 10 point climb and are going with pneumatics. If anyone coming has a couple of rod end clevis's for 2" Bimba cylinders (1/2" thread) we could use I'd sure appreciate it - come find us in the pits, we're right next to the practice field. Otherwise we'll be making them from threaded couplings.

Where did you find a pit layout for the Bayou? I went to their new site and can't find one anywhere.

Can you link it?

It came in an email yesterday to the main contacts.

Let me know if you need any extra hands. We've got some students that wouldn't mind helping out

Same over here! 3337 and 3753 are exited this year!

Also, LSU's STEP program will have their LSU peer mentors offering their help at Bayou Regional this year! Look for us with the BLUE shirts!

Good luck to every team!

The audio on the webcast is in dire need of leveling. The music and game sounds overpowers the announcing, and is extremely loud.

Agreed, someone should mention this to the audio people at the event.

I was impressed with 3753 the BulahBots, they put up a bunch of points with 1649 , 120 points without fouls right out of the gate. Not to mention two great dump and climb robots, 1421 and 2992 scored 50 points with their climb/dump in their 1st matches

Bayou should be interesting !
