E-stop record??

[zivo123]

I think we may have set a negative record in our stay in atlanta.. we've hit the E-stop 5 times in our 7 qualification matches (first time electrical problem all the others tipping over..)
is that a record?

anyway.. we all had a great time

[JesseK]

We've hit e-stop about 5 times this year. 1 for tipping in Atlanta, 1 for an electrical problem and 1 for a penumatics problem (meanging shifters wouldn't engage) in Philly and twice at VCU for electrical problems.

This wasn't the best of years for our robot.

I think this was the first time I've personally hit the E-stop in a match, after we'd fallen apart (again) in a Chesapeake practice match. I don't recall us hitting it in qualification matches, though.

this was the first year that we DIDN'T hit our E-stop!! EVER!! YAY!!

[Jeff Rodriguez]

We hit the e-stop in every single one of our matches in the 2001 season. Does that count?

NO! Bad Jeff, bad! *hits with stick*

For those of you "noobs" out there, 2001 had a multiplier of scores based on how quickly the matched ended, and to end the match all teams had to e-stop.

At Davis we hit the E-Stop close to every match, not wanting to risk a <G22>, after the drive train failed as soon as we crossed the other alliance's finish line and spun our front into the wall, parallel with the line.

We haven't E-Stopped in at least the past three years, and I believe past four.

[Lions for First]

we had to hit it once in the semifinals of AZ
and once in a practice when a freshmen on the drive team said "OH BIG RED BUTTON"

[Brad Voracek]

Twice this year.

Once when our drive train broke, and then again when our radio cable (screwed in mind you) ripped out of our robot controller.


Good stuff. ;P

Yeah, that happened to us in one of the qualification matches at VCU.

[IbleedPink233]

I have been on the drive team for 233 3 years in a row, and I had to be the one to break the streak of no E-stopping at the Hawaiian Regional during one of the Semi's

We hit our e-stop allot this year but, surprisingly we did not hit it in championships. But In NJ i think it was about more then half the matches we played we were hiting the big red button. We even used our broken robot to our advantage once by e-stooping under our travkball on the overpass .

But i am hopping that next year we will not need the big red button that is so much fun to hit. Every time you hit i think it lowers the moral of the team.

Agreed
