Hey, now here's an idea.
What if we rebuilt our robot to be constructed of poof balls?
Then we could just pull up to a side goal and sort of dissolve, leaving a pile of electronics and motors.
One of the up-sides is you couldn't be called for extending any part of the robot too far into the goal, because it'd be a legal poof ball.

I agree, I was very disappointed in it - it seemed like the reporter wasn't even there. http://www.team358.org/history/artic...26_Newsday.jpg For those who haven't seen it.

I wish I had taken more time to talk to the reporter as I usually make a point to do, so I could explain how the competition works. She came by as we were working on the damage inflicted during our last quarterfinal match and our lower conveyor was destroyed. We were in a bit of a rush. I feel bad the story didn't at least get our alliance right.

The one quote she has from me is literally all I said to her. You'll notice I didn't spell my name for her.
