Coach on team #419, Rambots, from UMass Boston / BC High and WHO NEEDS SPONSORS WHEN YOU HAVE DETERMINATION!.



Wow it was intense.....team "9th Wave" picked us along with team "HOT," team "Riot Crew," and the "NUtrons."

It was both fun and exciting. There were robots that could do everything, and there were some that did not work at all, and there were some who DIED trying to make theirs work on the field. But the most reliable were the ones that worked and could do it flawlessly. Consistency is important as time is limited. The qualification matches this year are worth nothing, the finals are the way to go. Specialize and you will win.

Every game needs 2 big ball grabbers, 1 goal balancer, and one wedge bot (a fast one). With an alliance like that, you will take home the trophy.

All I can say guys is you can wedge your robot under that bridge all you want, but you'll have to be as fast and consistent as we have been.

Do NOT fool your alliance into saying "oh we can slip under the bridge to prevent the see-saw effect" if you know you were not made to do it. You'll just screw your team over when they try and it fails. (i saw it happen).

We are the WEDGE bot and the fastest one. See you all in florida.....(now we celebrate).

Special thanks to all you guys who helped this poorly funded, engineer-less team, who has ninnies with power tools.

ps. I finally met Joe J and handed him a dew. He rocks!
