Scimmages this past weekend

[enpurx]

On Sunday, Wildstang (team 111) hosted a FRC invitational at their workshop in Shaumburg, IL. It was lots of fun and all the teams there were really nice. Our arm kept breaking, and they gave us parts to fix it with. Unfortunately, someone stole my tablet PC with all my robotics stuff on it, so now I have to redo my team's webpage that I spent weeks creating. Despite that negative event, watching the other robots compete was amazing, and I'm looking forward to working with them at regionals!

Team 692 (St. Francis High - Fembots) hosted a scrimmage at their school this past Saturday. We were there with an old '05 bot and our new bot just placing tubes as much as we could. Team 295 (Granite Bay/Oakmont) was there with a FAST ramp bot. We got on them three times which was fun. Team 692 and 1662 (Jim Elliot) each had a robot that could score ringers and played some good defense. Team 1147 (Elk Grove) had a lifter bot and had a cool, small wheeled bot that was all over the place (in a good way!). Here's some vids of the matches...

Thanks again to the host - Tema 692 - the Fembots. They're great people and we had a good time meeting up with each other and checking out the cool bots. Can't wait to see all of them again at Davis!!

You won't believe this but someone stole a laptop from our pit at the Aces High UTC Winter War Zone scrimmage.

Rolling Thunder's "Rochester Rally" went over well. It was a great time for teams to fix up their robot for competition. We saw a couple robots get onto ramps and some really good "rack robots". Can't wait until FLR!

I went to my first scrimmage at Hawthorne High in Hawthorne, California on Sunday. it was a great experience. It was awesome to see what other teams' and our own team's robot could do. Our robot was the only robot to lift. Thanks to the teams who were brave enough to try, 399 Eagle Robotics and 589 Crescenta Valley High School. You guys rock!

You guys were so awesome toO!!!! I remember that we heitated to get lifted, but after my friend and I convinced some people that we will survive. Also that it was worth a shot, so we went for it. Wow was it worth it, when you guys lifted us, I was jumping up and down! So what the elevator stoped working after the buzzer, you guys lifted our bot and 399's up. KUDOS!!

Ditto. I saw pictures two days later--in a machine shop class.
