Re: IRI Predictions??

Ohhhhhh I even forgot that I had to properly thank Bob and others for our green flagpole. I would have made an even worse prediction had I remembered that. My prediction was merely my sick desire to once again see Bob frantically running around the field like he did in the quarters in DC, "We don't have a battery, we need a battery!" It was perhaps his finest professional moment as a mentor and I would never want to let him forget it.

Maybe we'll make a nice maroon and black pre-match checklist for the 365 drive team for the 2010 season that includes these key items:
1. Be sure you have a battery, preferably charged, along with the robot when leaving the pit
2. Be sure the battery is on the robot
3. Be sure the battery we left the pit with that is most likely charged, that is on the robot, has its leads connected firmly to the corresponding leads on the robot (which is also along with us).
4. Be sure that conditions 1-3 are still satisfied when putting the robot on the filed for the match (oh yeah, and go get the controls in the pit NOW if we forgot them)
5. Ensure Kressly is at field side with extra batteries nearby, just in case we fail miserably at 1-4 above

In all seriousness, good luck at your first IRI team 365. As I told my team when we took our first trip out there a few years ago, "It's a pleasure to get your tails kicked by the best."
