The robot has a bigger smile than the students.

Haha, they were all pretty tired. Believe it or not, but none of us noticed the robot had a complete face until after the picture was taken. We put the googly eyes on her but didnt realize the mirror made her a mouth.

You guys were a force to reckon with at both of the regionals. Your robot performed very well and it was very cool to be able to compete against you guys; specially that last second co-op balance that took place this past weekend. Congratulations.

I've very much enjoyed watching this bot play. Saw it on Friday morning via webcast of Orlando and knew there was a great future for this bot.

While sometimes a team "just gets it right" for a year, usually a team's rapid growth of success in a year is due to a few small changes.
As there are always threads along the lines of "what makes a great team great", mind sharing what made your team jump in competitiveness from a good team to a multi-banner team?

For our team this hasnt been just an overnight leap into the limelight. The past 2 years we have had robots that were blue banner quality. In 2010 we were ranked 2nd at Florida, 1st at Colorado, and 4th on Newton; 2011 we had the 2nd highest OPR at Florida w/o even having a working minibot. The key to us doing so well this year is the fact that we built a robot that does every part of the game amazingly well. We usually build robots that do 80% amazingly well and just say we can outscore that other 20%, but this year we said we needed to do 100% amazingly. The experience of having a 4 year base driver is also an intangible that just cant be easily push aside either.

You all were great this year, it was a privelage to play with/against you at both regionals. As stated in an earlier post it has been a long time comming for this team. Job well done, good luck at championships.

WOW that looks life a great bot. One question though, is the mirror in the front for seeing under the back side of the bridge when picking up balls?

Congratulations, #1592, Bionic Tigers! You guys have been working way up the "ladder," and have broken out into a prestigious club of teams that have won multiple events in the same year.
