Not Bad! Make sure to check out the controllers. Our 2006 robot got a little wet in a parade lat year. It didn't look like anything bad had happened until the controller wouldn't drive servos hooked up to it, not giving them any power. One of our engineers took the controller apart and the entire inside was corroded. He managed to clean it up and getting it working again though.
Keep it up!

I think this should go in the inspirational photos thread...

That scene stirs up memories of the 2000 FIRST demo at the Jet Propulsion Lab.

I have said it before, and I will say it again - robots and water DO mix!!!!

Re: pic: 578's Rainproof Robots
We had the exact opposite happen to us this year. During the 4th of july parade here in Vegas (it was only 110) we went to swap out a battery and found that the plastic cover was totally warped and pliable. (not the one on the bot)

It happened because we were using the extra battery to support the controls on the back of the trailor. We learned not to always keep batterys cool...

I believe we took the battery to a pep boys and they disposed of it.


Our battery lasted us the whole parade (little over a mile) It gave out with about 100 ft to go...



Anybody have this problem? or similar??
