Don't worry, 610 remembers 639. Remember that pushing match for the goal in the Canadian Regional finals 2 years ago?

Our sandpaper-studded wheels tore a hole in the carpet and sanded the underlying concrete. The regional organizers were nice enough to let us keep that section of the carpet as a memento.

Geez those were good times. Our drive that year was pretty cool; similar to the low-rider robots this year like 1114 and 111, we had 6 wheels. 2 of them could pop down (geared to same gearbox) and provided a lot of torque by pressing down on the goal and lifting the back end of our robot up. But we had enough trouble with alignment and chains that we were very lucky to have gotten as far as we did. Great match. See you guys there again.

To follow up on this thread... in 2002 and 2003 the field was lengthwise in relation to the arena. Will the 2nd field this year be in the same orientation and in the other half of the arena? In which case, 639 claims all center row seats.

.. oh wait, there's a rule against that
