Re: What every mentor is thinking right now is...

Tuesday Night and 'bot in a bag can't come fast enough!

My feeling is the game this year will see a majority of teams underestimating the wear and tear that will be placed on their machines. I predict seeing many robots laying dormant on the field at various times during the matches.

Robot not fully plugged in was a programming issue.
I called out our MORT programming captain for that as CSA in our own hosted district event.
Yes I was a programming mentor then as well.

Surely the software should be able to communicate to other robots to plug our battery back in

When hardware and electrical can't figure out how to do something in design eventually it's a software problem

Last in - first out on the blame train.

Re: What every mentor is thinking right now is...

It is going to be rough. We spent most of the morning at week 0 securely fastening stuff that fell off of our bot.

There were several robots that never made it to the field.

It's going to be very very rough. After 14 matches at the Suffield Shakedown we felt it. A good amount of broken rivets and a pretty badly bent piece of bar stock. For that reason we are switching to steel barstock for our indexer mount. We are also making some pads for our shooter arm to make it feel the defenses a little less. Although to be completely honest I'm pretty happy with how it held up.

Re: What every mentor is thinking right now is...

Three thoughts:
(1) What is sleep?
(2) We need to practice, practice, practice.
(3) We're forgetting something... forgot what that was, though...

Re: What every mentor is thinking right now is...

Since our first event is week 0.5 and I don't get my normal week of extra sleep before competition I'm try to decide how much sleep one could get during quals of an event that early.
