Go to Post The shirts. The buttons. The capes. That feeling you get when you first glimpse the arena and all the empty pits, and the only thing is promise. When the last bit of confetti has fallen, and nobody leaves the field. We are fortunate. - Taylor [more]

Surprisingly, our robot handled the rain pretty well.

On the way to Battlecry this year, we were going to put the robot under the coach bus. Unfortunately, this coach bus was about 4" not deep enough underneath to fit the robot. We had to stick it in the back of a mentor's pickup truck. Double unfortunately, it was raining. We covered the robot with a tarp. Triple unfortunately, all this extra set up made us late. The robot beat the team to WPI, and team 40 helped our mentor unload the robot, because we were in the next match with team 40. They lent us a battery, and we dried the robot off with paper towels and put it on the field sans bumpers or dashboard.

Nothing smoked!
