Team 1640 after winning Hatboro-Horsham
Together with Alliance partners Teams 341 (
Miss Daisy, Alliance Captain) and 1218 (
Vulcan Robotics), Team 1640 won the
Mid-Atlantic Robotics (MAR) qualifier 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 Lenepe.
