Pittsburgh, wrap up and frustrations

[Matt Attallah]

Heh. We where right next to them, and they where cool as a cucumber. I congrats you.

Our robot arrived fine, on time, but we did get into some major trouble. We had an inspector come over and give us the hardest time about everything! Our light was visible from all directions when on the ground (we are only 14" high), but when it was on our crate (which is about 3-4 feet higher) you could see it, but not as easily. We got burned for that, but we said ok and lifted it a little higher. Next was our air pressure. We had our regulator at 60, and all was good, but he said that we HAD to have a gage between the compressor and the accumulator. What is that? There are others, and i'm sure that DJ know what they are, as well as others. This could of been a great regional, but with the lack of coordination and judgment, it really sucked for my-self.

I would love to thank teams 274 and 1218 for being our partners and choosing us. I wish to say to them that we are looking in to what happened, and we have not found anything. (I think there is something rotten in the state of Denmark...)

DJ... You may wish to change your avatar soon...before nats....
