Re: Archi-medes!

For everyone who wanted to trade shirts, I'm bringing 3 size L, and one size 2XL. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get any more shirts before tomorrow, so I can't accept any new offers.

I wonder why that is? maybe initial communication is the key to sucess?

It does make sense, like some teams are scouting via CD before hand.

Probably, it does sound like a good reason. Are we the underdog division right now? I know that we all have a shot, but knowing that other people think we don't makes it all the sweeter taking home the win ^_^

Re: Archi-medes!

I don't think we're the complete underdog but we are definitely not predicted to win. I think whatever one 1114 and 217 is in is predicted to win. I think our division can definitely hang with them and even beat them. It would just take some strong strategy and defense.

We have plenty of defense and strategy in our division. Its how we beat some great teams down in Chesapeake and made it to the top in Trenton to face 103 and 25. I think mort's robot this year can help make a great alliance in this division.

Don't forget 217 can be beat, it just takes extreme defense and great offensive robots that hurdle like a monster(points to link in signature ). 1114 can be stopped the same way (probably).

Remember, while there are highly skilled teams and well designed robots out there that should not be underestimated, no team is invincible. If there are any specific robots which appear to be more of a challenge than others to you guys, check the blue alliance and watch videos of their robot running in competition. Watching game tapes DEFINITELY helps... you can discover all kinds of little things that you can use to improve your differential score.

For instance... our gripper used to be slow on the up/down, so, if you could keep the ball rolling we'd have to follow it for a while. Now, it takes about 0.75sec for the ball to go from the pickup to the shoot position.

...On that note, watching game tapes of yourselves can help you identify critical points of your own gameplay you can improve on or help to minimize the chances of another team capitalizing on a specific characteristic of your robot to their advantage.

Go Teams!

AR-CHE-ME-DES!
