Since Dan Green MCs wherever we go, it's probably him.

548: Long Robot
Space on Bridge: ~19.5" with bumpers
Stinger: No
Tripled/#? Yes, 7 times

Stinger....not yet?

Buzz 17 is also a long bot but looking to triple!

Capable and ready. We were able to triple balance twice on the practice field in CT with three long robots, courtesy of our partners 126 Gael Force and 869 Power Cord.

NEU CT Regional PF Triple Balance #1

NEU CT Regional PF Triple Balance #2

We weren't able to pull it off on the real field due to varying complications, but we're ready to give it a go. Our robot has an offset CG so that we may hang more than half of the robot off the edge.

Photos to be added soon.

Can't wait to see you guys there and show you the big improvements we've made since Oregon! This is going to be an awesome division!

This is just a quick spreadsheet I made up from Ed Law's scouting database (thanks Ed!) All OPR data-points are from the co-opertition bridge adjusted values. It looks to be a very competitive division! Apple Pi is excited

842 is totally pumped and ready for another year in Newton. List of robots is very interesting. Many of the top teams are super fenders robots that can shoot from the key if need be but not as much pure super key shooters. Time to start looking to see who is wide and long

Dont forget the long ones who can hang half off and not even show a difference

Team 3018 is super excited for our first Championship. We can't wait to see all the great robots and compete with all the teams!

Buzz 175 is all Smiles and ready for fun on Newton!

222 is excited to be in Newton! This is a very interesting field of machines and teams. There should be lots of very exciting matches in our division. We currently have a peg leg and a new shooter that we installed for MAR championships. We are looking to improve our shooter by implementing the "Bang-Bang" motor controller to help shooter wheel speed control.

Just keep in mind when it comes to balancing some long bots are equivalent to wide bots

See everyone next week!

Team 3255 is so ready for the Championship next week! It's so awesome to be in Newton with a bunch of other great teams! Can't wait for our first time at the Championships!
