Re: Sparky 9.0 Unveiled

Indeed it's a nice robot. We'll have some nice competition at VCU this year!

Your biggest weakness looks like it may be capturing a randomly kinetic ball. Good teamwork can fix that.

Re: Sparky 9.0 Unveiled

Sparky and Cheese are good looking robots that are going to go far this year, no doubt. Too bad we didn't see 540 at the scrimmage. I can't wait to see everyone at VCU in 3 weeks.

Re: Sparky 9.0 Unveiled

540, 384, and 1086, hurtful comments are not necessary. Please conduct yourselves with gracious professionalism.

Yeah, I've been AFK for a few days trying to get some important executive details ironed out. We've been taking some great video, and pictures, and I'll have them up by 7pm tonight

Don't worry about the comment. I've experienced enough slander from other parties, in multiple other occasions, to know that it's best to just keep it proffessional no matter how personal it gets. I hope they assume the real spirit of FIRST when VCU comes around

I know I can't wait 'till the regional! How 'bout you! It's gonna be much fun, and my final year as a student.. I'm just going to try to have the most fun as possible (Science Museum, Engineering Center, competition!) and show the rookies what the Spirit of FIRST really is.

Who *didn't* like 4? That thing had it's own personality!

I also love 7 a bunch too (AIM High year).

Re: Sparky 9.0 Unveiled

Sparky 7 is a personal favorite of mine. Especially the version we ran in Atlanta. Good times.
