Most matches for a robot?

[Nathan Streeter]

There is kind of a 'slippery slope' from just official matches, to also off-season events, to also practice matches at official events, to also practice time. Honestly though, I have no good estimate for how many practice matches we played and how much practice time was on our 'competition' robot vs our 'practice' robot.

This was a great (boring?) season for our team in the pits... Early on we had to add/adjust a few things to tighten our elevator belts, but once tensioned at UMass Dartmouth correctly they were good. After that it was really just the additional features we added.

Have you ever considered building more than one robot, perhaps in a way that they could fit in each other and still come within the size/weight limitations, to alleviate wear and maximize match strategy?

It sounds like you remember our 2008 season? Wear was hardly a concern for our robot(s) that year, though...
