Philly Regional Day Three

Today we as a team were full of spirit and integrity. We did a very good job in showing that our robot can do what it is suppose to. Even though we finished in thirty-seventh in the qualifying matches, we were still picked to be in the sixth seated alliance. Our alliance partners, Team 237 (T.R.I.B.E.), and Team 816 (Panthers), were great hurdlers. With all three of our robots put together, we won the quarter finals match. Even though we lost the semi-finals by just a little bit, we as an alliance came to be one of the third place alliances in the elimination rounds.

Philly Regional Day Two

Today started off to be great. We started off being qualified as rank two but the dropped down to rank twenty-five. Even though we dropped down, our robot did what we wanted it to do. The autonomous mode worked, the arm knocked the ball of the overpass, and we also got a nine lap match. These three things made us as a team, very happy.

Philly Regional Day One

Today was great. First when we got there we took off the old roll cage and arm frame. After that we put on our newly designed arm. The arm worked really nice. As we tested the arm in a couple of practice matches, Justin and Santesh worked on the autonomous mode parts and the programming. After everything was put on, the robot looked and worked great.

Getting Ready for Philly

We packed up everything in Duck's jeep and Adam's truck for our next regional in Philly. Hopefully the arm that we designed works really nice. We also will have a great autonomous mode. Now we just wait for the competition to test all of our hard work.

The Arm

The arm was started today. The new arm will be very efficient unlike the old one, which was slow and heavy. Hopefully this new arm design will increase our scoring ability from only doing laps. This arm will also give us a chance to get more points in autonomous mode.

Trenton Regional

The Trenton Regional Competition was very fun. Everyone had a great time. The robot worked really great even thought it was just a racer. Hopefully we find out a way to fix the arm to use at our next regional.
