does anyone know what teams are going to Cowtown Throw Down? There website doesn’t have the 2012 list up yet.
Team 2410, BV CAPS Metal Mustang Robotics, is happy to say that we will be in attendance sporting our improvements since Greater Kansas City.
awesome, good for you!
By the way Is it gong to be at a different location this year? I thought I heard something about it being at Team Drivens school…
The event will be held on the Lee’s Summit High School Campus on Friday November 2nd and Saturday, November 3rd 2012. The competition will start at 6pm on Friday night and will go into the late afternoon on Saturday.
(Taken from the CTTD website.) Guess it did get moved.
Oh okay.
where you guys at the St. louis Regionals?
No, they were not.
On a side note, team 3397 is hoping to be there, but we have not received confirmation of our registration.
ah well hope to see your team there!
Nope, sorry. This year we attended Greater KC, Oklahoma, and bought into Champs.
Between Greater KC and OKC, a few members of our team stayed at school for our spring break and completely redesigned our shooter. Between OKC and Champs, a few members redesigned our bridge manipulator so it’s even more effective. I’m thinking about looking into a non-pneumatic stinger.
okay Must have been thinking of another team.
Wow great! Sorry I dont know all the technical stuff, but sounds cool.
By the way, what is your robots drive train for this year?
It’s just a simple 4 wheel skid. Wide robot. 4 kit wheels (not the sticky ones from this year, a few years back)
Oh okay cause we were seeing allot of problems with other robots trying to balance on the bridge, because of their drive train. some of them couldn’t even get on the bridge, they just kept sliding.
Likewise.
I personally cannot wait. This will be 3397’s first off-season event, so we are SUPER pumped! I am also curious to see the team list though.
SUPER PUMPED!
This is your teams first offseason event? Wow, well it’s allot of fun, it’s nice because your not under any pressure. so yeah its allot of fun! this will be my second offseason event, so I’m super excited as well! And yes me too, I wish they would get it up soon…
anyone know if team 931 is going to CTTD?
