The Pennsylvania Robot Competition (PARC), graciously hosted by Team 222 (Trigertrons) at Tunkhannock High School, is the oldest off-season FRC Event. Team Sab-BOT-age has participated in the PARC competition every year since the team's founding. PARC XIII was held 8-May-2010.
1640 placed 8th seed out of 19 teams and was selected by Team 2753 (Team Overdrive) for the 3rd Alliance (together with Team 339). We defeated the 6th alliance in two games in the Quarter-Finals, but we were ourselved defeated by the 1st Alliance (Teams 25, 341 & 1989) in the Semi-Finals.
Team 1640 received the Gracious Professionalism Award.
1640 hosted a VEX Demonstration at PARC. Thanks, Jack, for leading this demo!
DEWBOT VI was plagued by mechanical problems at PARC XIII, missing a qualifying match in the process (We let down 1218 & 341, who lost the match).

Mechanical Problems
- Kicker failure due to absent wire ties (for match Q1, this is a pit process failure)
- Failure of Pivot #3 at the Pivot Tube - Pivot Plate junction during Q1. Not catastophic for match. Pivot replaced with a spare, but we missed qualifying match Q6 as a result and our allies (1218 & 341) lost the match. Will repair the pivot by re-epoxying the joint and replacing the (3) 8-32 set screws with (3) ¼"-20 set screws. This design shange will be applied in the future and will be retrofit to current pivots as time allows.
- A Pivot Transfer Axle came out of its mount during QF1-2. Repaired. Pivot #4 is in danger of experiencing the same failure and needs attention.
- Pneumatic leak developed during SF1-1, with consequent loss of the kicker. Repaired.
- A Pivot Transfer Axle Bearing is blown on Pivot 4 and must be replaced
- Kicker failure due to absent wire ties (for match Q1, this is a pit process failure)
On the other hand, Gary deaver's tread anchors held up to the abuse of competition.
