Archimedes!!!

[looneylin]

and that Archimedes brings all the bots to the yard! YAY!

[Kevin Kolodziej]

I can't believe Atlanta is NEXT WEEK already. While team 1675 may not have qualified to get in, I'm extremely glad I pushed for us to take advtage of the opening of tier #1 - the teams my kids will be exposed to in this division (and the others of course) and have a chance to directly interact with are some of the teams that I am continually inspired by year after year. While I have a feeling that our robot will perform better than ever in the dome, the people the kids will meet and knowledge from the conferences they will gain will be an invaluable experience. Archimedes will be represented well and be the best we can be! ARCHI-MEDES! ARCHI-MEDES!

86 Team in Archimedes!

The whol thing snuck upon me. Right now I'm in a state of dissarray. English Paper due the Monday before, persuasive speech and 8 Hour Workday the TUESDAY before. (My Brain is either asleep due to allergy medicine or hyper thanks to caffeine.)

Can't wait for the madness and and insanity.

Hey all...

Arch from what I can see has a lot of the same teams that were in
Curie last year (us, X-cats,killer bees,etc.) Somehow we've dodged the triplets and team 25. 401 was in Arch last year and I'm glad to be with them
this year. Too bad 1598 is'nt with us again like at VCU. I had hoped we had gotten Galileo because Jeff Seaton is the MC, But I'm happy with what we got.

Am looking forward to the trip...VCU was better the second time around because we had a larger team this year I had more free time.
Last year was so hectic at Atlanta not being there before with a small
team. I think this year will be better.

While Arch might be far away from the Dome entrance...its the closest
(ala the pits) walking without the robot) from the GWCC to the Dome.

Yeah be sure to bring your walking shoes its a LONG LONG LONG WALK.

Avg Scoring about 15 pts from dumping

I will personally vouch for the fact that 1138 can play defense, they were excellent at BAE and pushed around any one who got in their way.

1.) 1568 The Mechanicatz
2.) We are a shooter
3.) 10
4.) No problem, have also helped others up.
5.) multiple defensive modes including high speed to beat dumper to the corner, and high speed to get to robot then high torque to push them away from the goal (watch our semifinal matches (2 and 3) from boston to see) Since boston I wrote an auto mode that wil score 4-6 in the center (camera aimed) It works in the debugger but is untested, It hould be available for use friday.
6.) Great speed in high gear, can Push almost any one in low.
7.) Not sure, I am sure the number is very low but will be higher in atlanta, we didn't get all of the bugs worked out untill saturday in boston and by then all of our partners wanted us to play defense.
8.) 42 inches off the ground
9.) camera aimed (pan and tilt) with manual over ride option.
10.) I will post as soon as I find one
