Re: 5338 Robolocos Robot Stolen
I was able to stop by for a few hours on Saturday. They quite literally lost everything - wires, wrenches, bolts, etc.
Their practice robot was being re-wired with the help of 116's electrical team since they didn't have the correct wiring size for a few things. Their intake was nearly complete. Their lift carriage was completed and waiting for the rest of the robot. Their top bar, with 2 constant-force springs was almost ready. Their crate was being painted as I left. They also met on Sunday, but I wasn't able to make it out. They had a hard deadline to ship by today (Tuesday) just like the DCMP teams do.
They had a guy from the community stop by to give them some pizza from Domino's. The Washington Redskins gave them a 'care package', which is cool on the surface. There has been plenty of support by the Loudon County execs from various entities. I think if a few teams stop by to help with any unexpected things that pop up, they'll do great things at Champs.
