2010 PEACHTREE REGIONAL

[goldenglove002]

In regards to the final match of the day, I can't say I'm happy with what happened. But it is what it is. Both alliances had great robots, and I wish we had gotten to see a real match occur in the end.

I was one of the team members in the question box, and this is what we were told by the refs and other staff. What happened to our robot was something of a "freak accident". The main breaker somehow slipped out of place by fractions of fractions of an inch. Never in my 3 years in FRC had I seen something like that occur. For team 34, they had 12 volts showing on their battery for the very beginning of the match. Then it died. It was a battery borrowed from the field, so we were all thinking there was something defective with the battery. The field staff said that because it had shown power at the begining it had to have been an issue on the robot. Would have been nice to let us check the voltage on the battery after the match to solve the mystery, but it'll just remain that way I guess. We could have gone on forever out there and never gotten anywhere, so thats that.

Anyways, congratulation to all the winners out there. It was a fun 3 days.
