Re: One week in, what are you doing?

When the water leaks in to the control box it is shorting out all sorts of stuff. We are thinking of using tampons to absorb the water....

Re: One week in, what are you doing?

I was thinking odf using pneumatic tires to float on the water. It'd take quite a few, but it should work.

Re: One week in, what are you doing?

We're building a drive train that can go over the 4" bump and an inverted wedge to deal with the teeter totters. Then we are going to shoot balls into the high goal.

(oh wait, that actually works for this game too )

Re: One week in, what are you doing?

Well, we're going to try to assist the ball down the field, hope the referees don't make mistakes, and launch a ball into the high goal eight times.

And maybe win our regionals?

We're working on our intake mechanism, but it keeps destroying our game pieces. Anyone know where to get more floppies?

Four. It was four. They keep getting smashed by the totes, though.

Re: One week in, what are you doing?

We are shooting for potentially scoring 301 points in our first regional. And maybe more?

Re: One week in, what are you doing?

We are planning to hang off of the truss to score truss points and avoid defense!

Should get us 10 truss points every 10 seconds

Wait, like 301 points from all matches combined, or 301 points for a single match? Because 301 points for a single match would be insane for this game.
