Go to Post At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. - Cory [more]

Re: Given Tetra Loading Rules At Regionals?

We have an auto mode that allows us to cap with the starting tetra as well... works every time. We have to back drive a fisher-price motor by pulling up on our arm by hand, but it falls back into place after we set the tetra in. Only one other team at VCU had an automode using the starting tetra, and they just set it on a hook, so they didn't have to manipulate their robot at all before the match. I dunno about the tethering deal at nationals. At VCU we had more teams than at any other regional, and they were VERY strict about wasting time setting up the robot. I don't know what otehr regionals and nationals will do about this.
