As rob said, we had some bad luck. probably worse than anyone else.

we had the perfect oppurtunity to beat rage. we had the strategy, the alliance partner, and most importantly, now we had the power (at SPBLI our robot had major problems). so, we pout the robot down, go behind the plexiglass shield, match starts, and i'm the driver. full forward on the joysticks. then, i notice the robot veer off to the right. i tried to correct, but couldn't figure out what was happening. when the robot finally smashed into the side, it hit me. chain, off, on the right side. right away, i managed to get back into our home zone. then, i test out the right side alone. no response what so ever. not only had just the front or back chain fallen off, both had! so, all we could do was spin in circles. needless to say, we lost the match, and i'm still trying to figure out how that darn chain fell off. oh well, next year, i say make a robot with no chains. transfer the power from the motor to the wheel through the air. it hasn't been done yet, but it will be!! (now you should all know why i'm a programmer )
