South Carolina Warm-Up

[Metalhugginman]

Thanks for the inquiry, Chris. Well, we had a great day sizing up area teams and seeing what our machine could do. As for climbing the stairs, I do not remember seeing anyone try it from the front, up the three small stairs. Most of the bots took the 6" climb up to the top of the first platform.
Those machines that use the grey tires tended to spin a little and bounce a lot. I am sure with proper adjusting, etc. that problem can be fixed. It was surprising in that only one bot at the warm-up could direct balls to the corral. The other shocker came when the length of almost all the simulated games seemed to be very short. With the challenge of the game this year, and so many possibilites, time really does fly.
Good luck to you and your team. Come visit us if you are in one of the regionals or the International. We are truly blessed to have great friends and able to meet so many nice people because of FIRST.
