pic: Thanks for the help 716

I would also like to thank 716 for their help and unwavering support of all who are in need when times get tough during competitions.

Thanks Andy, and the rest of 716.

By the way, I think the kid watching the pit crew in this picture in the black shirt on the left of the pic, is the same kid who was working field reset during one of our matches HERE and almost got taken out by our robot.

Must have been trying to get a closer look to the robot who he ran from during that match when were DQ'ed for extending outside the playing field trying to right ourselves...

All I have to say about River Rage and the competition in general is that coaching is weird. This competition was my first competition where I coached the whole thing. It was weird.. I don't know if I could do it full time.

I give everyone who coaches their teams during matches lots of credit. The view from behind the players station is definitely different than the side view I normally get from the stands. Views are skewed, and sometimes you can hardly tell what is going on in the field. In one of our matches, there was a mobile goal in our way, and I did not even notice that our battery flew out, and thus we were disabled. I was freaking out, thinking that our driver had lost all power to the robot when in fact we just were disabled.
