I forgot to add the specs. for the P.E.T.T. robot which has a 4 wheel drive, 2-speed manual transmission. Our bot also has 2 ramps that fold down, one has legs on it to hold it to about 12" (ours is measured at 12.5") and the other creates about a 30 degree incline. Our bot can hold 2 robots and can also score on the bottom row of the rack.
Any one know if Las Vegas will be webcast? It was on the NASA schedule earlier, but now is not.

tell me about it… And I’m so exited to see how many Florida teams are actually going all the way to Vegas! see ya tomorrow!
Las Vegas was a very fun regional for us last year. Good luck to all teams attending this year.
I wasn’t sure. Then I found out that these guys give factory tours, and they are only 20 minutes away from the competition site. I am SO there!

Does this mean we might get to meet Dave at LVR?
I think every FIRST celebrity should find a good excuse and travel down to Vegas. A fun regional, and it’s the one city in the world where there is always something to do.

I’ll be there on Saturday.
Wow, pink is rockin. glad to see you guys in the pink again! on your 4th match you could have hung your 8th and got on the ramp… Oh well, can’t complain when you hang 7 in a row. Looks like good competition over there, wish we were there. 79 is doing great to, I love the ringer picker upper do dad. oh and OINK OINK BOOM! Come on guys were rooting for ya!
Well 1902 got to play pink 233 and we won the match. We were so nervous as we took pink on. Couldn’t not see match well over video, but didn’t look like pink got much help.
I do hope pink wins the rest and so does 1902 and 79 our last partner.
On match 52 it looked like our opponents were hitting us in the last 15 seconds in our hone zone but didn’t get a penalty, did I read it wrong?
I noticed that as well. However, I had the sound off, so I don’t know if the announcer gave an explanation.
I am wondering the same thing.
… also was quite surprised to see the head referee spend a good minute looking at the 8th tube that Team 79 (blue alliance) was trying to score in match 53 even though there were NO ringer for the red alliance or a ramp/lifters.
No explanation. Trying to get my team on phone to find out.
I talked to my team. They protested that the penalty was not called. The judges are interpreting the rules as you can only be in home zone 5 seconds at at time.
After discussion with the judges they are contacting FIRST foir clarification.
All part of the game.
