Hi Folks,

This is just a friendly letter to all of this year's FIRST teams from the AZTECHS 157. This year the competition has gotten a lot more complicated. Not only do our robots have to deal with a teeter-totter bridge but Dean Kamen and the individuals at FIRST spiced things up a bit by putting all the robots on the same team.
We figure that it is no longer considered "spying" to scout other teams, and with all of your help, we can work together to maximize the amount of points that we all score. The information that you provide will be placed into a database that will be accessible to everyone via our team website: http://www.aztechs157.org.
The following is a list of specific tasks that robots can and can't do. We would truly appreciate it if each team took a moment to put an "x" next to the specified abilities that their robot is capable of handling, and for the extra questions listed below those, please fill in the amount of time and the speed. We would also be grateful for a digital picture of your robot (jpeg) and a brief text description of how your robot works and how you plan to work in your alliance to score points. If you have any other abilities not listed below feel free to write them in the email.
As always good luck and thanks for all of your help. Oh, by the way, don't forget to identify your team # in the email.
Your Friends in FIRST,
AZTECHS Team 157
