2010 NASA/VCU regional!!!

[Cowmanjohn]

I am the driver for 617, the Enginerds, and running a total of 11 matches during the eliminations was really tough for us. We ran 4 during the quarterfinals, 5 during the semifinals, and 2 during the finals. Four of the semifinal matches were in a row without any breaks except a six minute time out. After the semifinals we replaced our battery and had to get right back on the field where we ran two more matches in a row. The back to back matches also took a toll on our robot. During eliminations our frame became bent and we went through three different bushings on one wheel! The metal hinge on our kicker also got torn. However, we did have a great time and I would like to thank our alliance partners 346 and 1895. Without them we never would have gotten this far. I would also like to thank all of our opponents for a wonderful challenge. And a special thanks to all the teams that loaned us batteries or offered to: 346, 384, 435, 540, and 3079.
