Re: pic: OUCH!

well heres a little update for all of the folks at home.

Our first match was against the RIT robot Bane. We won that match because we turned them off from repeatedly hitting them. Our second match was against Phrizbee (see above link), they are the cause of this damage to our flipper. we left right after that match to get back to the X-Cats site and repair/beef up for our next match which was against Cyclone Bot. which is just as good as Phrizbee and is also a very damaging spinner. Around 3:00AM we finally went to bed and at 7:30 we woke up and started working again. We then found out that Cyclone Bot couldn't get their system working and we won by forfeit.Our fourth match was against Big Betty which was a flipper that won against Cyclone Bot previously. We had them over on their back and then Greg flipped them back over for more. We then found out by the judges vote we lost and we were done for the day since it was a double elimination tournament. we ended up at 2 wins and 2 losses.

the overall experience was great, i love robots, i love seeing kids entertained and Greg almost just melted when a kid came up to him to get his autograph. It was an amazing experience and i hope to personally build a middle weight or even smaller weight class robot for future competitions. I am tired and still on not much sleep and i must leave at 5AM to get back to college tomorrow so I'm off to bed.

edited.
