Today was the starting day of the competition where all the teams unpacked, fixed minor (and major) problems, did 3 practice rounds, and met the other teams. We did not make it to our first practice round, and during the second round our arm unfortunately broke into a few pieces, and was not fix-able. After the second practice round we had our safety inspection, and we were a few pounds over weight so we just took the entire arm and all of the arm hardware off completely. During our third match the flag pole fell down and we ended up accidentally using it as a skewer against other robots. Now we are back at Franklin fixing a few things and making out robot legal.
