2009 IRI- Who has applied?

[Chris is me]

Happy to see that the Hilltoppers made it into the final list. Yet another quality Wisconsin team that's smart enough to pull out some good upsets. Frankly I'm surprised they weren't selected in Atlanta.

Wisconsin's going to do well this year. Two of the all-star Rookie teams this year, now on top of that throw 1732 along with the regional winners, I think we're all ready to show the state a few hours over what we're made of :-)

Now onto the draft.

That is quite a list!
Miss Daisy is looking forward to seeing some old friends and especially making some new ones.
Our whole team is pumped about the trip!

About our power problem,

We did have one of those inline current sensors on our drive motor wires hooked up to a PID control loop, but our captain said he wanted me to take it out because "we weren't accelerating enough." What I'm probably going to do is try to get those hooked back up and have that code-activated when the voltage readings start to get closer to breaking. (I think I have a backup of the code somewhere....)

[Chris is me]

You should probably put that sensor back in, because "we weren't accelerating enough" is usually a traction control problem, adding more voltage would just make it worse on the slippery surface.

I think a little part of me died. Though 2081 looks great, glad they're going.

Looks like a great competitive list of cool teams! I can't wait.

Hmm which state could you be referring to... XD

*Points east from Wisconsin*

[Chris is me]

Well, no Wisconsin team other than 269 went farther east than Illinois. Could be any number of states!

Working on a pre-iri solid cylindrical fiber length and weight reduction. Whatever that means.

How will the encryption be done at IRI?

Everyone will need to do this Friday morning, as soon as they get in. We will have a station set up in the pit area.

I will be loading the pit and field layout print onto this site later today.

222 is definitely looking forward to IRI. We haven't been to IRI since 2005.

I guess we better hurry up and finish modifying our bot
