NASA funding
That's cool that NASA encourages it. It is actually kind of good to have some teams that are good teams to come to our regional. (I am from bellevue and my house is about 40 min drive to the regional).
190 is definately a team to look up to with their awesome autonomous performance during matches, and technology with x and y axis gyros and i'm not exactly sure how it works, but it is kind of a positioning sensor. The side to side "crab" motion is also cool and unique.
But it just seems almost unfair for teams that this is their first regional of 2003, when other teams have already attended 1, 2, or even 3 regionals before this one. Especially since some of those teams have been in the final rounds, and a few have even won previous regionals, and are going for multiple regional victories.
But the vetran teams that have been around longer have more sponsers + money to pay for airfare. So hopefully my team will be able to do this next year.
By the way, 190, you guys have an awesome bot! 949, likes your bot a lot. And we play against you guys 2 times tomorrow, so we will enjoy the matches, there should be some good action! Look for team 949 with the big 8 ft wide arms going up against the "crab-ram" team of 190.
[In one match however, we (949) are against 190 AND 233 (the pink machine) hopefully we don't get wiped out too bad...]
