Bayou Regional 2015

[FRCmediaMan]

Team 179's robot will be going from one swamp to another as FRCTop25 says.

Definitely looking forward to my fourth (and hopefully not my last) Bayou Regional. I see we have most of the usual suspects ready to roll along with some new faces. Team 3991 is ready for Recycle Rush Bayou Edition!

And I'll definitely trade for a green 179 t shirt. Those are legit.

What our 2015 shirts look like. They're dri-fit also

3946 will be in the house, with our brand-new trailer (took delivery Thursday; no time to wrap it this year, so it's still white), new uniforms, and unquestionably our best (and simplest) robot to date; a landfill miner with four actuators. We have been able to build and cap a stack of five in 2:15 in driver practice, or make two uncapped stacks of six (in case we have a canner for an alliance partner). We are also able to score yellow totes on the step. Ariana has shot a bunch of video, but I haven't seen any postings yet other than our impressions of the game.

Still tweaking! Our original tote-flipper idea didn't work, but one of our drivers decided to try something silly; push down on one long edge and retreat. After one successful and a bunch of failed attempts, we just added a bit of peel-and-stick foam rubber to the bottom of our flipper on Saturday, and it works like a champ. It also turns out to make an effective brake when we shove it into the carpet; good thing we can't do this while carrying a stack.

Look out for 4587. We are looking to pick up another win in the great state of Louisiana (This time at a regional and not an off season). We will probably have a slow start on Thursday due to all the changes we are making, but we will be stacking and capping full force by the time Friday comes!

Looking at wildcards, it looks like only 2383 Ninjineers are the only team bringing a wild card.

Does anyone know if there will be a webcast? I know 3937 ran Arkansas' webcast, and 3847 has run webcasts before.

I'm not sure, as far as I know we aren't doing it, but we'll bring the stuff in case we need to set it up.

[Breakaway3937]

We haven't been asked either. Allen does a great job with their webcasts.
