Re: pic: 816's 2009 Robot. The View You Never Want To See.

Really glad to see this team get some recognition. They've been working their butts off to gain a lot more ground in the last 3 years. Clearly they have succeeded.

2008-
NJ #2 Seed undefeated- Semifinalist
Philly #6 or 7 captain
Quality Award
Archimedes 6th captain 5-1-1
Overall 24-11-2

2009-
Clearly one of the best scorers and drivers in the East.

Really proud of these guys. =)

Dustin, curious as to any changes being made for Atlanta. I had a couple ideas in mind that I guess I'll show you tonight. Let me know what you have planned though.

As of right now, nothing too substantial will be changed for Atlanta. They system as it sits runs pretty well but needs some fine tuning. Here's some of My ideal mods in Order of Importance and ease.

1) Control the top roller through a speed controller so that we don't over shoot as often. This should eliminate some of our overshooting problems when we're shooting into the side of the trailer.

2) Change the Drive Sprocket on the Conveyor to give the system a little more power to handle bad balls. This should make it so that we can store more easily but will slow our offload down slightly.

3) Add some sort of a "Hood" Mechanism that allows us to shoot directly into the trailer when at point blank range.

*MOST IMPORTANT MOD* I need to refine my driving a little bit going into Atlanta. I got a little to hot towards the end of Philly and made a lot of mistake that we normally didn't make.

As for everyone else, Thank you so much for the kind words about our Robot, Our Team, and Me. This was a very rough year for us and it is my last with 816 and the respect from you guys is making it one to remember.
