Post competition

Well I think that we did great, even better than I had hoped for.

We had some problems which were delt with, sadly we did loose our ball catcher. And alot of our work had revolved around  using that devise, so without it we were relegated to running laps. We did run very fast, and after our couple of issues with  the judgments of Ref’s about penalties Cameron did an amazing job of dodging the other bots and not slamming into the field. We could have always done better, but that’s a black hole do discuss the infinate things which should have been handled differently just now.

We have a meeting today after school in the wood shop,

and

The Parents and Mentors have a meeting on thursday evening at Round table Pizza.

There’s the time and place for the conversations about who and what and how and why…

We are also waiting for our glorious Robot to return to us.

Anyway we did a really good job out there, So we’ll see you todayThe Best T-shirt this year

Post-competition

Just a quick update to say that we were not used as backup in the final matches. But wow, those were amazing matches. At the end of one of them, the entire red alliance ended up in a dogpile (robotpile?) on the home stretch. There was some amazing ball-tossing, lap-running, and robot-tipping. Congrats, everyone!

Finals

Well, the qualifying matches have ended, and we were ranked 22/55. We weren’t selected for the finals, but we are secondary backups, so we’re staying here on call to replace another team.
