pic: 1902 exploding wheel

[Dan Richardson]

Yeah this happend at quite possibly the worst time possible. As you can see by my pit crew tag lol. During semifinals on Archimedes while playing some defense we somehow broke 2 spokes on our wheel.

When we came off the field we were astonished but it looked as if it would still work. So in semifinal #2 we completely lost the other 3 spokes off the hub. Stripped completely off.

Andy Mark make their transmissions so well that the wheels was just begging for mercy.

Heh If teams were wondering why were weren't flying around the field playing killer defense after that this is why. Running 2 wheels on one side and 3 on the other took a toll on our motors, we were still able to run autonomous and play some good defense the first match, but by match # 3 in the finals the robot was toast.

We had a replacement wheel but didn't have quite enough time to fix it during the eliminations.

I sure as heck can say colson, I can say a lot of things lol.. 1902 just has had some of the worst luck with wheels this season, first we break wheels in Florida Finals, Now Archimedes finals ( WITH A DIFFERENT SET OF WHEELS!! ) ahhh heh
