Revision as of 13:16, 5 March 2012
Together with Alliance partners Teams 341 (Miss Daisy, Alliance Captain) and 1218 (Vulcan Robotics), Team 1640 won the Mid-Atlantic Robotics (MAR) District Event at Hatboro-Horsham Senior High School. Great work by the whole team and a great start to the 2012 competition season!
With virtually no time for software & hardware testing or driver training before the robot was sealed, we got off to a very rough start at this event. Many of DEWBOT VIII's features were not working properly when the event started. Many of these deficiencies were addressed at the competition; a few still need some work prior to Lenape.
Our qualification match record of 5:4:3 was underwhelming, as was our final ranking of 27 in a field of 38. Still, our performance improved as the qualification matches progressed (and we got troubled systems working properly). Fortunately, while we did not design a defensive robot, our pivot drive makes us a truly formidable defensive player. 341 knows this. We can also cross the barrier easily.
