Go to Post Gracious professionalism is competing with a team one minute, and helping them fix their robot the next. It is cheering for FIRST, rather than just your team, and most importantly: it is looking at the future and saying, "Together, we can do that" - WakeZero [more]

Re: TOMMY LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard stories of teams who didn't test on carpet and wound up having a non-turning robot the first day of competition. Get it onto carpet.[/quote]

Thats excatly what happened to team 2061 last year. We drove our bot on concrete and had good turning but when we got to competition we could not turn as good. Also the concrete made our wheels black and worn them down.

It's planned for next Saturday, but we know it will turn because it's a moded version of the drive train we have been using for the past 2 games.
