This year we are all a little bit in the rookie category for the event due to the new venue. Even still there are a few things that can’t change. One thing that is especially important this year is to have a cart to wheel your robot around. From what I understand there is quite a distance between the pits and the fields. You don’t want to be carrying your robot that far for so many matches.
Some more advice; if you need help ASK! There are hundreds of teams willing to help they only need to know that you are in need. If you ask a team for help and they tell you no, come find me I’ll be working on the Curie field, from what I understand, I’ll get you set up with what you need. Or ask a different team very few will say no, I promise that to you.
Oh, don’t for get to charge your batteries. It’s a good idea to just put the battery on the charger after every match and swap out, you won’t have to try keeping track of how much you have used the battery. You don’t want to have a dead battery, if one that is low because it can effect your autonomous mode considerably as well as regular driving and handling. Any one else with advice?
thanks for the advice! Im looking forward to this years competition a lot, so many things are gonna be new for everyone… Cant Wait… Also MVRT 115 In curie will be willing to help all teams… and pick up the Glow Sticks from our Pir Area.
