Just because it might work great in competition or it might not work at all.

it was my only option =P but that is why i sent a link to the palmetto videos too

It was more aimed to people saying that teams 20 and 125 have made improvements, they might of, but we wont know until Thursday.

I'm rather willing to bet that we have all made improvements...

I assure you, we couldn't be much worse than we were in Boston.

I hope any team that has struggled has made improvements, I honestly do.

Also 1551 I know you guys will do well, winning FLR is no small feat, lots of talent go to FLR. But I have to admit I was screaming bloody murder at my desk when I saw you guys knocked my Alumi (145) out of the number 1 seed =P. But you guys have one heck of a hanger and a great bot all the way around.

Here is a video of us at wpi. I see where you are coming from because it is really hard to get competition video this year. This is just from quarters on I believe. We improved greatly from Manchester to wpi with the suction cups and now have improved our ball magnet, kicker, and added autonomous.

Hope this helps! As a fellow scout I look for all the video I can get, so anyone who posts any video it will be appreciated good luck all and see ya soon!

Is Wednesday night going to be as busy for everyone else as it will be for us? (In terms of making improvements/additions to the robots.)

Glad to hear we're not part of a few!
We can't wait to see the changes everyone is working on; maybe we'll even see some "new" robots out there! Less than two days left to go!

We are the opposite, we built for offense, but found our drive train better suited for defense with ample pushing power. Go figure We are actually going to make some gearing changes to be more nimble.

Here is a new video of us competing at the colorado and florida regionals. =)

I was looking at all the standings and Newton jumped out at me with 11 teams not getting scores registered for three matches. I can understand a couple not getting a third match in yesterday, but 11. So this means alot of red cards and a couple of teams not getting to the field. Two teams didn't play any matches. Does anyone know if the teams just didn't make it to Atlanta or are they having trouble with inspections? Hope they are up and running today.

I have heard that the teams that play an extra game that doesn't count (some teams must play 11 games so all can at least play 10 games) 3rd match is the game for them that doesn't count. I am not sure about this but this could contribute to the 11 teams that did not count.
