'Sup? I'm a member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I visited the shop during build season of [[DEWBOT VI]], and they haven't been able to get rid of me since. I'm pretty social at times. I play with everyone on the team and even some people from other teams.<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Hehe, we even had a nice little party with cake at the hotel. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college. I'm majoring in Game Design and Development. I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />

<br />
At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with other teams, and videotaping things.<br />

=== Breakaway With DEWBOT VI ===<br />
Two hours' worth of build season, two regionals, and three off-season events in 2010. This was a project I did at the end of my senior year of high school. DVDs were released in June, and the individual chapters were made available online shortly after.<br />
<br />

'Sup? I'm a member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I visited the shop during build season of [[DEWBOT VI]], and they haven't been able to get rid of me since. I'm pretty social at times. I play with everyone on the team and even some people from other teams.<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Hehe, we even had a nice little party with cake at the hotel. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college. I'm majoring in Game Design and Development. I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />

I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />

Two hours' worth of build season, two regionals, and three off-season events in 2010. This was a project I did at the end of my senior year of high school. DVDs were released in June, and the individual chapters were made available online shortly after.<br />

'Sup? I'm a member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I visited the shop during build season of [[DEWBOT VI]], and they haven't been able to get rid of me since. I'm pretty social at times. I play with everyone on the team and even some people from other teams.<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Hehe, we even had a nice little party with cake at the hotel. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college. I'm majoring in Game Design and Development. I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />
http://i50.tinypic.com/168u2c0.jpg<br />
<br />
At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with other teams, and videotaping things.<br />

I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />

'Sup? I'm a member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I visited the shop during build season of [[DEWBOT VI]], and they haven't been able to get rid of me since. I'm pretty social at times. I play with everyone on the team and even some people from other teams.<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Hehe, we even had a nice little party with cake at the hotel. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college. I'm majoring in Game Design and Development. I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />
http://i50.tinypic.com/168u2c0.jpg<br />
<br />
At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with other teams, and videotaping things.<br />

=== Breakaway With DEWBOT VI ===<br />
Two hours' worth of build season, two regionals, and three off-season events in 2010. This was a project I did at the end of my senior year of high school. DVDs were released in June, and the individual chapters were made available online shortly after.<br />

'Sup? I'm a member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I visited the shop during build season of [[DEWBOT VI]], and they haven't been able to get rid of me since. I'm pretty social at times. I play with everyone on the team and even some people from other teams.<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Hehe, we even had a nice little party with cake at the hotel. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college. I'm majoring in Game Design and Development. I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />

At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with other teams, and videotaping things.<br />

=== Breakaway With DEWBOT VI ===<br />
Two hours' worth of build season, two regionals, and three off-season events in 2010. This was a project I did at the end of my senior year of high school. DVDs were released in June, and the individual chapters were made available online shortly after.<br><br />

'Sup? I'm a member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I visited the shop during build season of [[DEWBOT VI]], and they haven't been able to get rid of me since. I'm pretty social at times. I play with everyone on the team and even some people from other teams.<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Hehe, we even had a nice little party with cake at the hotel. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college. I'm majoring in Game Design and Development. I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />
http://i50.tinypic.com/168u2c0.jpg<br />
<br />
At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with other teams, and videotaping things.<br />

'''Breakaway With DEWBOT VI'''<br><br />
Two hours' worth of build season, two regionals, and three off-season events in 2010. This was a project I did at the end of my senior year of high school. DVDs were released in June, and the individual chapters were made available online shortly after.<br><br />

'Sup? I'm a member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I visited the shop during build season of [[DEWBOT VI]], and they haven't been able to get rid of me since. I'm pretty social at times. I play with everyone on the team and even some people from other teams.<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Hehe, we even had a nice little party with cake at the hotel. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college. I'm majoring in Game Design and Development. I'm basically following in the footsteps of several counselors at the video game camp I used to go to. I first heard about FIRST robotics from volunteering at a video game convention owned by the same people who own that camp, and I first heard about team 1640 at a New Year's party.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />

<br />
At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with other teams, and videotaping things.<br />

'Sup? I'm a new member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I'm a student who doesn't actually go to either of the Downingtown high schools. Instead, I'm from Conestoga. And suddenly my username makes sense.<br />
<br />
Stoga has a "robotics club" (which I was in as a junior) where they play around with Lego robots (not for competition), but they don't have an FRC team, nor a VEX team. I'm very happy that team 1640, team Sab-BOT-age, accepts me as one of their own. :)<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college next year.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />

<hr />
<div>16 and 17-July-2010 at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, IN. This is the first year we've been accepted into the Indiana Robotics Invitational (IRI)! IRI is the largest and most selective of all off-season competitions and is even larger than any FIRST Regional, with over 80 teams in attendance. Check out the [http://www.indianaroboticsinvitational.org/ event website]. Also, DEWBOT made the [http://photos.indystar.com/galleries/slides/10128?page=1&template=default Indianapolis paper]!<br />

== VEX at IRI ==<br />
[[image:2010_July_IRI_VEX_Robot.jpg|300px|right]]<br />
<br />
We were invited to come play '''Swept Away''' the classroom / TSA version of '''Clean Sweep''' at IRI. The rules are similar, but it's on a 8 x 8' field and there is a limit of the parts the robot can have. <br />
<br />
Jack and Foster built a robot 2 weeks before the event, borrowing ideas from past robots (the shoulder and slide extension) and a football basket Foster had seen at the TSA National Championships. Jack then spent a few hours honing his drive skills before heading west. <br />
<br />
The practice paid off. Representing Team 1640 (sab-BOT-age) Jack took the event with 11 wins 0 losses. "Chris is me" from FRC 2791 Shaker Robotics took second place. <br />
<br />
Jack did very well driving the wheels off the robot to make an unblemished win streak and to score 49 points (out of a max of 60) in a single match. <br />

These are the quick notes from [[User:Foster | Foster's]] trip to IRI in 2010. <br />
<br />
'''''Thursday''''' - My car (Clem, Siri, Rizzo, Carley, Jen) left at exactly 8:30AM according to plan. After a short stop in Bedford we arrived at the Mecca of West Virgina '''Quaker Steak and Lube''' about 1PM. After fueling up on world class wings we headed west on I70. A mere 3 hours later we were at our next milestone '''Fricker's Chicken''' in Vandalia. After eating their world class wings and Chicken Chunks (are you seeing a theme here?) we got back on I70 to head towards the hotel. Wow, is I70 long and straight!<br />
<br />
The trip was filled full of music, bad puns, silly stories etc. The best part was the mini-button factory that did the final assembly of ''I'm xxx on CD'' and the Non-engineering Mentor buttons ''Doing all the work that isn't rocket science'' for Friday.<br />
<br />
It was cool to have technology in the car, we were able to keep up with CD and news of closing the oil well off. I wrote the first part of this post on I70 just outside of Indiana. (Did I say I70 was long?)<br />
<br />
We checked into the hotel and then it was off to '''Dave & Busters''' to deliver some buttons, '''Frickin Chicken Chunks''' to my sister and to meet the mentors. We spent about 2 hours there meeting new people, playing some games for cool prizes and having an end of the day beverage. Siri's buttons were a bigh hit, people were happy to get them. <br />
<br />
I met the wonderful Jane Young, Alan, Andy and Mark of AndyMark fame and spent some time talking to Ed from Rochester. Rizzo met most of the judging staff and swapped some "Well when I was reffing there was this team ..." stories. A pretty good session to close off the first day of IRI.<br />
<br />
'''''Friday''''' Dawn in Indianpolis came early, the final set of people didn't arrive until 2AM, so they had to sleep fast. But, when I got to the breakfast area most of our team was eating breakfast. We got out of the hotel about 7:20 and headed over to the school. <br />
<br />
The school is huge with two huge gyms. One that has an indoor 1/4 mile track, the other that holds 2 full sized basketball courts. <br />
<br />
I was busy working with Jack getting him set up with the VEX and getting the two demo robots ready to go so others could play on the. Jack did a great job of keeping the robot running and an even better job of driving the wheels off of it. It was a tough schedule with three matches in each round and three rounds. The finals were best out of three and Jack ended up with a flawless record of 11-0. He also had the high score of the day at 49 points. <br />
<br />
The big robot also had a pretty good day. We had some amazing partners that we played with and against. We closed out the day in 21st place. Somewhat due to our good seeding, somewhat due to the improvements we made to the robot. <br />
<br />
Dinner was cafeteria style with salad, lasagna, bread, and 5 kinds of dessert. I had a chance to eat with my sister. I don't see her very often and to be honest mostly at robot events. She had been a scorer / queue manager for most of the day (71 matches) so I got to hear about her day. <br />
<br />
The talent show was amazing, the acts were good, but the best part were the comments (written on whiteboard) by the panel of judges. ''Needs more cowbell'' takes on a new meaning!<br />
The best act was a ''spinny lighted ball act set to music'' that was very impressive. The encore with the Tesla music machines was very cool. <br />
<br />
So far IRI has exceeded my idea of what it would be like. I've see great robots in action and I've been able to go up and talk to the builders on how the robot works. People have been super nice helping out where they can. This has got to be one of the best organizied events that I've been to.<br />
<br />
'''''Saturday''''' - We started off the day getting the robot set up for the days matches. We gathered together for the opening ceremony. Afterwards was the long wait to play our next two matches. <br />
<br />
During the wait we watched some amazing matches. We got to see matches that ended with 5 robots hanging, the amazing Team 469 looper in a 6v0 match and the top teams in FRC going nose to nose. We lost our last match but got to see the first ever Breakaway suspension. <br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister and Team ''Exploding Bacon'' I had '''Skyline Chili''' the 5-Way: A 3-Way (spaghetti, covered with chili and topped shredded cheddar cheese) with diced onions and red beans. I ate with the team and learned that when someone comes into the room and goes "oink oink" they all go '''BOOM'''. Very entertaining. The chili was pretty good too. <br />
<br />
At the end of the qualifications we ended up in 31st place. A pretty good showing for the weekend. At noon we went through alliance selection, we were not chosen. <br />
<br />
Next up was the mentor match. We had enough donations in our bucket to have us be the 5th Seed Captain. We did quite well in the first two matches. I was the human player, grabbing balls from the goal for the second match. It was fun, but it's very bright and noisy on the field so it's hard to communicate with the other players. <br />
<br />
In between the second and third games one of our alliance partners found that their robot was broken. Since they were in the real finals they withdrew from the match. We promptly lost the next two matches against the Second Place seed and were out of the tournament. <br />
<br />
Next up was the loooonng finals cycle. There were an amazing number of ties and an even larger collection of rubber matches. Not to mention rubber matches that ended up in ties. All in all we got to see some great competition, but the last match did not finish until 6:15PM<br />
<br />
'''''Sunday''''' - We left the hotel for breakfast at 6:15AM and were headed East at 7AM. With some minor problems due to Dayton road construction we arrived at the [[http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ |National Museum of the US Air Force]]'''. <br />
<br />
Which turned out to be a super place (well if you are into airplanes or rockets) to visit. It consists of three giant hangers that are filled with aircraft. The first exhibits are early gliders and a replica of the first Wright Flyer. From there on it's a chronological tour of US aircraft with some from England, Japan and Russia. At the far end is a tall round building that has exhibits showing off manned near-space and space flights. There is also a collection of rockets. <br />
<br />
After a three hour tour we headed off to lunch at the '''Olive Garden'''. By 1PM we were once again heading east listening to bagpipe music and popular songs from Spain in 1496. We hit a backup in Columbus so we did a quick detour through downtown Columbus. Since it was Sunday there was very little traffic so it wasn't a big deal. <br />
<br />
Dinner was a gas and go at '''Sheetz''', but I got one of my favorites, a slaw dog with bacon and cheese! We pulled into Downingtown at 9:45, and I was tucked into bed by 10:30. <br />
<br />
'''''Overall''''' - It was a great weekend. <br />
* I got to see and talk to my sister, which has been one of the biggest bonus features of FIRST<br />
* Great robots, I got to see the insides and talk to the teams of some very good robots.<br />
* Great people, I met a ton of people that I've wanted to meet face to face<br />
* The Saturday NEMO meeting gave me some good contacts for things we need to do in 2011. <br />
* Food!<br />
* Air Force Museum<br />
* Fun - it was 4 days of non-stop fun<br />

===Thursday===<br />
I was in Foster's van ("it's a rental") on the rides to and from IRI--and what awesome rides they were. He's about covered all the stops along the way, though I must that Quaker Steak is quite an interesting place...albeit less interesting when getting the check takes longer than eliminations at IRI. '''Dave & Busters''' was a lot of fun, though also a little stressful being my first mentor (all of whom were more than twice my age) meet-and-greet. I felt ''very'' (no, ''very'') young, but it was still a great time. The "Hi, I'm...on CD" and non-rocket science NEMO buttons were a good conversation starter too--I think I'll keep that up. I got to meeting Stu (the Head Ref), Carolyn (the NEMO meeting coordinator), Jim (later the IRI 2010 Mentor of the Year, congratulations), and Jane Young, among others, plus toast [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Day_%28Firefly%29 Unification Day] and have some great conversations with Clem, Foster, and Rizzo.<br />
===Friday===<br />
Wow! So that's what "Inspiration Lives Here" means. This place is amazing. We had some problems with the kicker, possessor, and IR sensors, but still ended up doing quite well--ranking 7th at one point and hanging around 15th or so. I was not expecting that, given a field of almost 80 of the best teams in FIRST. And what robots they were! Seeing 469, 1114, 148, 33, and dozens of others up close was amazing. Meeting the teams and working with the drive teams was truly enlightening as well.<br><br />
The drive team is really meshing well, and I think I'm getting pretty well used to this coaching thin. (Or so Carly claims, and she's not really one to placate.) It was a bit of a rough start this year: driver controls are ''way'' more complicated than ever before, but Carly and Sasha are both adapting well. We're starting to read each other like the old days, and it's not so stressful--though the pressure is still completely on.<br><br />
We had some absolutely spectacular matches today! Match 32 was a 1-on-2 virtual shut out. Match 40 was another fantastic defensive game, especially considering 1058's consistency at scoring from the middle zone. (Wish we could do that so well!) In Match 57, we got to show off our striking skills, scoring probably 10 goals in one match in addition to pinning opposing defense so our allies could score.<br><br />
Clem and I also actually got to sit down, inside, for lunch, for a full 10 minutes. I'm not sure that's ever happened before at a major competition. Quite pleasant. Foster and I also ran into a couple of guys from Lockheed Martin. With a little luck, we might even get something out of it. I even got a little bit of a chance to check in on scouting, though I still have some work to really get that department up and running. (Though it's easier at competitions where the match schedule can stay the same...and the DS communication works...yeah, ok, never mind.)<br><br />
This is a ridiculously well organized event. They start queuing us very early, but who am I to complain when they manage to keep 78 teams virtually on schedule for 104 matches without radios between the pits and queuing? But other than that and my request for the DJs to have a "previously played" list (it's going to take me a while to re-enjoy "Don't Stop Believing"), there didn't seem to be a single issue. These guys a top notch, my hat's of to them. The extra events--silent auction, backpacks for 2nd graders, mentor match, talent show, are also superbly executed. This may well be the best competition I've ever attended, on- or off-season.<br><br />
I had dinner and great conversation with Foster and his sister and later Rizzo and Koko Ed. (Well, it was a lot of food.) We did have some mechanical difficulties to fix afterward and ended up missing most of the talent show (minus the Tesla music & string raving and Jim's "singing"). Overall, we're preforming quite admirably. I know I'm admiring it.<br />
===Saturday===<br />
What a day--what an event. Our first match of the day was a solid 13 to 8 victory, but our last one didn't go so well, being on the losing side of 13 to 7. We dropped down to 31st place by the end of qualifications. It's still very respectable, but we didn't make eliminations, especially given that we're strangers in a land of old friend and allies. We did learn a an unquantifiable amount though, and have started making some friends. Next year is another season!<br><br />
I also met Mark (of AndyMark) and Karthik, among several others in addition to those from D&B and dinner. Andy from AndyMark came to find ''me''. I think I'll forever remember this event as "Andy Baker knows my name". I didn't talk to quite everyone I was aiming for, but pretty close. (My networking still leaves something to be desired. Like, say, extraversion. Also, age.) There's always next year, though!<br><br />
The mentor match was quite an experience--and less stressful, since we didn't have to worry so much about breaking things after alliance selection. Foster, Rizzo, Faith, Rita, and Clem did some great human player-ing. Clem, Rizzo, and I got a chance to drive (wow, this thing ''is'' pretty confusing, though it helps that DEWBOT III was along the same lines and much less cooperative), and Clem and I did some possessorizing. My old drive experience has been great for my coaching, but it's always good to have a refresher when I can. And refreshed I am! Though we bought (via auction) our way into the 5th alliance, we only managed to make the semifinals--but Clem got a great hat out of it. I did manage to hurt my chest pretty badly lifting the robot though, so it hurts to laugh--a real danger when spending the weekend and a ''long'' car ride with Clem, Foster, Rizzo, Jen, and Carly. Overall, a fun (and at least marginally educational time) was had by all.<br><br />
The award ceremonies were quite well done. A little disappointing in the morning (sorry to Jen), but Sasha, Andrew, and I have something up our sleeves for Duel on the Delaware. The highlight of the afternoon ceremony (for us) was Jack accepting his VEX award. Congrats on the win and your undefeated record, Jack! And aren't we glad at least some of us (including him) stayed at the school for lunch. Also thanks to Foster's sister for alerting us in time to get a photo!<br><br />
The eliminations were amazing! Also, amazingly long (really? five matches in SF2?) Entirely worth it though, especially once Clem, Foster, Jen (plus Rizzo during the numerous cool-down breaks and timeouts) found the prefect spot on the upper balcony. I've never seen so many teams so closely matched, so many amazingly engineering robots (or famous numbers) on one field, or such fantastic driving at any time in my FIRST career. In fact, I don't think I've seen such inspiring work in all of my FIRST experience combined. Watching the coaches was especially interesting, and I picked up a some good pointers. Thanks to the rest of the pit crew that packed the trailer after they got back from lunch, giving both Clem and I an unprecedented chance to actually ''watch'' so many matches. 23 total: I don't think I've watched that many from the stands at any of the other major competitions combined.<br><br />
:After many more finals rounds that originally expected (I thought I was going to miss class Tuesday too), the entire team headed to an all-you-care-to-eat Chinese buffet for dinner. Good food and lots of laughter (and well worth the chest pain). After dinner, Foster, Clem, Rizzo and I dropped Jen and Carly off and went out to Ruby Tuesday's. (I'm told the beer is better. Yeesh, it's hard to be a mentor under 21.) Another Unification Day toast and some good serious and not-so-serious conversation later, we called it a night.<br />
===Sunday===<br />
An early start at 6AM and were were off to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. ''Awesome'' museum! (ok, so many I'm biased.) It's also the headquarters for the Air Force Institute of Technology--quite possibly where I'll be doing my graduate degree in a few years. After the museum we headed for lunch at Olive Garden and then hit the road to drop me off in Harrisburg. The ride was filled with silly jokes (my how we've added to our lexicon), fun stories, and some discussion of our upcoming to do list. Also, and some very interesting music. (Not much of it in English, but I think I've got a think for '90s Spanish tunes now. The 1490s, that is.) After some GPS and traffic versus arrival time confusion, I (as I expected) missed the nightly bus, but got a ride up to Penn State anyway to still arrive Sunday night. Thus I only missed 2 classes (Thursday and Friday)--well worth it, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
==Jen==<br />
'''Thursday''' – Gosh, what a fun trip this was! This replaces Finger Lakes as my longest car ride I've ever been on. The car ride was filled with music, button-making, and, for Carly and me, playing Sims 2 Pets. We got some interesting phrases out of that. “This dog's name is Daisy,” *awkward silence* “it has worms.” I was told that I was a good source of entertainment for everyone else in the car.<br />
We stopped at a restaurant in West Virginia and met this awesome waiter named Brandon. If it wasn't for Foster mentioning this to me ahead of time, I probably would have been incredibly confused about the fact that West Virginia is adjacent to Pennsylvania. I should visit “Geographyland” more often. Visits to “Vocabularyland” would probably be helpful too, considering that I had to ask what “lexicon” meant.<Br><br />
Anyway, we also drove through Ohio and saw some cool stuff like farms, buildings, and some kind of an indoor water park or something. Yes it sounds weird, but it was a building with some water slides leading out of it then back in to another part of the building. Look at the photo gallery to figure out what I'm talking about. Finally, we got to the hotel at a reasonable time – 8 or 9pm if my memory serves right. Carly and I went to the fitness center and watched Comedy Central before bedtime.<br />
<br />
'''Friday''' – My day started off well when I made a friend in a rather strange way. Though that's not a surprise. As Carly says, I always randomly make friends at robotics competitions. As the elevator door opened on the second floor, Nicole and a boy I did not recognize stepped out of the elevator, thinking it was the floor with the lobby. (They didn't catch that it was stopping on my floor for me to get on before reaching their destination). I pointed this out to them, and as they walked back into the elevator I noticed that the boy was wearing a shirt that said “MORE Robotics” on it. “Hey, you're on a robotics team!” I said, pointing out the obvious. From there, I ran into this boy, whose name is Stefan, about a million times during the trip, both in the hotel and at the competition. On saturday night, he even knocked on our door by accident, and as it turns out he was looking for his friend in the room next to us.<br><br />
We headed over to the competition, which I'm glad to say was only seven minutes away from the hotel. After unloading the trailer and carrying stuff to the pit, Carly and I followed Nicole to other gym to find a place in the stands. Carly said, “Wow, this is 'lose your stuff city',” when we noticed that it was easy to drop stuff through big gaps in the bleachers. Luckily, we didn't drop things too often and nothing fragile (safety glasses, pompoms, and a water bottle, which fell about ten times in five minutes. The worst was Alex's phone, but it survived. It could have been worse, considering we had laptops and cameras up there).<br><br />
Unfortunately, being in the stands for most of the time as the “head cheerleader” (hehe, thank you to whoever gave me that title on [[DEWBOT VI Indiana Robotics Invitational]]) I was one of the first to notice how repetitive the music was. It wasn't terrible music... just... the same stuff over and over, both days. Anyway, Friday was the VEX tournament, which I watched and videotaped some of. It was fun to show my support and watch Jack bring home the gold.<br><br />
I moved straight from watching VEX to match scouting. When a team from Georgia decided last minute that they couldn't make it, the entire match schedule had to be re-done, and we couldn't get a head start on scouting. In fact, we actually fell behind on it. During the first five matches, I dashed back and forth from the pit to the stands asking Siri what teams to track during each match because she was still in the middle of making that list based on the updated match schedule. Come the sixth match, scouting became easier when we had the full list of future allies and opponents at hand.<Br><br />
I'm really proud of our performance during the matches. There were some wicked teams out there... teams who have won regionals, some even championships, and we still managed to keep up a pretty good seeding score. At one point we were 7th, but we ended the day with 21st.<Br><br />
It was nice seeing Foster's sister again. I talked to her for a bit, and I may even be involved with her team while I'm away at college because they're not far from RIT. At the very least, I'll go to their off-season event, Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus, in October.<Br><br />
I was under the impression that all the teams would go to dinner at the same time, after the matches, and all eat together and socialize. (I'm really into the team socials, dontcha know?) Well, instead it was more like... go eat whenever you don't have a match to prepare for or play or watch... or ref. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.) But then the talent show right after dinner was phenomenal, which completely makes up for it. The acts ranged from musical performances to glowy spinny things with balls on strings. I enjoyed the skits. There was a rendition of “Who's on first?” and a skit involving a time machine. My favorite one was the volunteers' skit starring two girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha. (I actually saw them getting into costume before the talent show but didn't recognize them as the field reset volunteers who I'd seen plenty of times during the day). They had some technical difficulties (“Track 20!” “You're making Gaga angry!”), but they eventually got it working. Gaga sang about how she wrote a bad program (parody of “Bad Romance”), then a referee (cosplaying as Rizzo?) called her out on not wearing safety glasses, having inappropriate footwear, and standing on a chair.<br><br />
That night at the hotel, I talked to a group of students from team 111 and even met MC Dan Greene's daughter.<br />
<br />
'''Saturday''' – After seeing our hotel buddies, teams 1714 and 111, at breakfast, we headed over to the competition again. Sadly, neither Clem nor Siri won mentor of the year, and I didn't win a scholarship. We still looked forward to seeing Jack get his VEX award later that day. And something else that made my day was getting to talk to the girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha in the talent show!<br />
I took a peek at the silent auction. As a joke, they had the Woodie Flowers award sitting there. Some of the fake bids that people placed were hilarious. “Over $9000,” “Priceless,” and “My dad” were some of the offers.<br><br />
We played two more matches and ended up in the 31st seed. Amongst all the previous IRI winners, regional winners, championship division winners, it was some pretty tough competition, so we didn't get picked for an alliance. However, we went on to the mentor matches directly after alliance selection. We did really well until one of the alliance members broke down.<Br><br />
After the mentor matches, Jack got his award for the VEX tournament. Then, we watched the elimination rounds. They were fun to watch, even if they did drag on and on with so many ties. When they finally played a good dance song, a few of us ran down to the side of the field for the Cha-Cha Slide. There was a boy from the PVC Pirates who cracked me up because when there wasn't enough room to take “five hops this time,” he purposefully crashed face-first into the padded gym wall. Siri, Clem, and I went up to a good spot on the balcony for better camera shots of the “game breaker” bot.<br><br />
Once the never-ending finals finally ended, the team went out for our team dinner. I've gotta say, that whole lack of daylight savings time thing made lighting interesting. The sun set at about 9:30pm.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday''' – Our car visited the Airforce Museum in Dayton, Ohio on the way home. Even though Carly and I looked all around the gift shop, we were unable to find t-shirts that say, “I survived a day at the Airforce Museum.” Yeah, ok, I kid, I kid. It's nothing personal, we just don't like museums that much. Everyone else had fun, though, and there is this one awesome picture of me, Carly, and Siri about to be hit by a missile. Some of the mannequins were making funny faces, too.<br><br />
We passed through one of them “C” cities in Ohio on the way home, and I slept through West Virginia. We said goodbye to Siri in Harrisburg, then we arrived in Downingtown an hour or two later. And so ended our trip. It was quite a lot of fun, and I'd very much like to come back next year. Now I'm off to make a 1640 youtube account as per Foster's request and post some videos. The first video will probably be the VEX tournament since Foster asked for that and it requires very little editing. Ta-ta, ya'll.<br />

<div>==Foster==<br />
These are the quick notes from [[User:Foster | Foster's]] trip to IRI in 2010. <br />
<br />
'''''Thursday''''' - My car (Clem, Siri, Rizzo, Carley, Jen) left at exactly 8:30AM according to plan. After a short stop in Bedford we arrived at the Mecca of West Virgina '''Quaker Steak and Lube''' about 1PM. After fueling up on world class wings we headed west on I70. A mere 3 hours later we were at our next milestone '''Fricker's Chicken''' in Vandalia. After eating their world class wings and Chicken Chunks (are you seeing a theme here?) we got back on I70 to head towards the hotel. Wow, is I70 long and straight!<br />
<br />
The trip was filled full of music, bad puns, silly stories etc. The best part was the mini-button factory that did the final assembly of ''I'm xxx on CD'' and the Non-engineering Mentor buttons ''Doing all the work that isn't rocket science'' for Friday.<br />
<br />
It was cool to have technology in the car, we were able to keep up with CD and news of closing the oil well off. I wrote the first part of this post on I70 just outside of Indiana. (Did I say I70 was long?)<br />
<br />
We checked into the hotel and then it was off to '''Dave & Busters''' to deliver some buttons, '''Frickin Chicken Chunks''' to my sister and to meet the mentors. We spent about 2 hours there meeting new people, playing some games for cool prizes and having an end of the day beverage. Siri's buttons were a bigh hit, people were happy to get them. <br />
<br />
I met the wonderful Jane Young, Alan, Andy and Mark of AndyMark fame and spent some time talking to Ed from Rochester. Rizzo met most of the judging staff and swapped some "Well when I was reffing there was this team ..." stories. A pretty good session to close off the first day of IRI.<br />
<br />
'''''Friday''''' Dawn in Indianpolis came early, the final set of people didn't arrive until 2AM, so they had to sleep fast. But, when I got to the breakfast area most of our team was eating breakfast. We got out of the hotel about 7:20 and headed over to the school. <br />
<br />
The school is huge with two huge gyms. One that has an indoor 1/4 mile track, the other that holds 2 full sized basketball courts. <br />
<br />
I was busy working with Jack getting him set up with the VEX and getting the two demo robots ready to go so others could play on the. Jack did a great job of keeping the robot running and an even better job of driving the wheels off of it. It was a tough schedule with three matches in each round and three rounds. The finals were best out of three and Jack ended up with a flawless record of 11-0. He also had the high score of the day at 49 points. <br />
<br />
The big robot also had a pretty good day. We had some amazing partners that we played with and against. We closed out the day in 21st place. Somewhat due to our good seeding, somewhat due to the improvements we made to the robot. <br />
<br />
Dinner was cafeteria style with salad, lasagna, bread, and 5 kinds of dessert. I had a chance to eat with my sister. I don't see her very often and to be honest mostly at robot events. She had been a scorer / queue manager for most of the day (71 matches) so I got to hear about her day. <br />
<br />
The talent show was amazing, the acts were good, but the best part were the comments (written on whiteboard) by the panel of judges. ''Needs more cowbell'' takes on a new meaning!<br />
The best act was a ''spinny lighted ball act set to music'' that was very impressive. The encore with the Tesla music machines was very cool. <br />
<br />
So far IRI has exceeded my idea of what it would be like. I've see great robots in action and I've been able to go up and talk to the builders on how the robot works. People have been super nice helping out where they can. This has got to be one of the best organizied events that I've been to.<br />
<br />
'''''Saturday''''' - We started off the day getting the robot set up for the days matches. We gathered together for the opening ceremony. Afterwards was the long wait to play our next two matches. <br />
<br />
During the wait we watched some amazing matches. We got to see matches that ended with 5 robots hanging, the amazing Team 469 looper in a 6v0 match and the top teams in FRC going nose to nose. We lost our last match but got to see the first ever Breakaway suspension. <br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister and Team ''Exploding Bacon'' I had '''Skyline Chili''' the 5-Way: A 3-Way (spaghetti, covered with chili and topped shredded cheddar cheese) with diced onions and red beans. I ate with the team and learned that when someone comes into the room and goes "oink oink" they all go '''BOOM'''. Very entertaining. The chili was pretty good too. <br />
<br />
At the end of the qualifications we ended up in 31st place. A pretty good showing for the weekend. At noon we went through alliance selection, we were not chosen. <br />
<br />
Next up was the mentor match. We had enough donations in our bucket to have us be the 5th Seed Captain. We did quite well in the first two matches. I was the human player, grabbing balls from the goal for the second match. It was fun, but it's very bright and noisy on the field so it's hard to communicate with the other players. <br />
<br />
In between the second and third games one of our alliance partners found that their robot was broken. Since they were in the real finals they withdrew from the match. We promptly lost the next two matches against the Second Place seed and were out of the tournament. <br />
<br />
Next up was the loooonng finals cycle. There were an amazing number of ties and an even larger collection of rubber matches. Not to mention rubber matches that ended up in ties. All in all we got to see some great competition, but the last match did not finish until 6:15PM<br />
<br />
'''''Sunday''''' - We left the hotel for breakfast at 6:15AM and were headed East at 7AM. With some minor problems due to Dayton road construction we arrived at the [[http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ |National Museum of the US Air Force]]'''. <br />
<br />
Which turned out to be a super place (well if you are into airplanes or rockets) to visit. It consists of three giant hangers that are filled with aircraft. The first exhibits are early gliders and a replica of the first Wright Flyer. From there on it's a chronological tour of US aircraft with some from England, Japan and Russia. At the far end is a tall round building that has exhibits showing off manned near-space and space flights. There is also a collection of rockets. <br />
<br />
After a three hour tour we headed off to lunch at the '''Olive Garden'''. By 1PM we were once again heading east listening to bagpipe music and popular songs from Spain in 1496. We hit a backup in Columbus so we did a quick detour through downtown Columbus. Since it was Sunday there was very little traffic so it wasn't a big deal. <br />
<br />
Dinner was a gas and go at '''Sheetz''', but I got one of my favorites, a slaw dog with bacon and cheese! We pulled into Downingtown at 9:45, and I was tucked into bed by 10:30. <br />
<br />
'''''Overall''''' - It was a great weekend. <br />
* I got to see and talk to my sister, which has been one of the biggest bonus features of FIRST<br />
* Great robots, I got to see the insides and talk to the teams of some very good robots.<br />
* Great people, I met a ton of people that I've wanted to meet face to face<br />
* The Saturday NEMO meeting gave me some good contacts for things we need to do in 2011. <br />
* Food!<br />
* Air Force Museum<br />
* Fun - it was 4 days of non-stop fun<br />

I was in Foster's van ("it's a rental") on the rides to and from IRI--and what awesome rides they were. He's about covered all the stops along the way, though I must that Quaker Steak is quite an interesting place...albeit less interesting when getting the check takes longer than eliminations at IRI. '''Dave & Busters''' was a lot of fun, though also a little stressful being my first mentor (all of whom were more than twice my age) meet-and-greet. I felt ''very'' (no, ''very'') young, but it was still a great time. The "Hi, I'm...on CD" and non-rocket science NEMO buttons were a good conversation starter too--I think I'll keep that up. I got to meeting Stu (the Head Ref), Carolyn (the NEMO meeting coordinator), Jim (later the IRI 2010 Mentor of the Year, congratulations), and Jane Young, among others, plus toast [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Day_%28Firefly%29 Unification Day] and have some great conversations with Clem, Foster, and Rizzo.<br />
===Friday===<br />
Wow! So that's what "Inspiration Lives Here" means. This place is amazing. We had some problems with the kicker, possessor, and IR sensors, but still ended up doing quite well--ranking 7th at one point and hanging around 15th or so. I was not expecting that, given a field of almost 80 of the best teams in FIRST. And what robots they were! Seeing 469, 1114, 148, 33, and dozens of others up close was amazing. Meeting the teams and working with the drive teams was truly enlightening as well.<br><br />
The drive team is really meshing well, and I think I'm getting pretty well used to this coaching thin. (Or so Carly claims, and she's not really one to placate.) It was a bit of a rough start this year: driver controls are ''way'' more complicated than ever before, but Carly and Sasha are both adapting well.

In Match 57, we got to show off our striking skills, scoring probably 10 goals in one match in addition to pinning opposing defense so our allies could score.<br><br />
Clem and I also actually got to sit down, inside, for lunch, for a full 10 minutes. I'm not sure that's ever happened before at a major competition. Quite pleasant. Foster and I also ran into a couple of guys from Lockheed Martin. With a little luck, we might even get something out of it. I even got a little bit of a chance to check in on scouting, though I still have some work to really get that department up and running. (Though it's easier at competitions where the match schedule can stay the same...and the DS communication works...yeah, ok, never mind.)<br><br />
This is a ridiculously well organized event. They start queuing us very early, but who am I to complain when they manage to keep 78 teams virtually on schedule for 104 matches without radios between the pits and queuing? But other than that and my request for the DJs to have a "previously played" list (it's going to take me a while to re-enjoy "Don't Stop Believing"), there didn't seem to be a single issue. These guys a top notch, my hat's of to them. The extra events--silent auction, backpacks for 2nd graders, mentor match, talent show, are also superbly executed. This may well be the best competition I've ever attended, on- or off-season.<br><br />
I had dinner and great conversation with Foster and his sister and later Rizzo and Koko Ed. (Well, it was a lot of food.) We did have some mechanical difficulties to fix afterward and ended up missing most of the talent show (minus the Tesla music & string raving and Jim's "singing"). Overall, we're preforming quite admirably. I know I'm admiring it.<br />
===Saturday===<br />
What a day--what an event. Our first match of the day was a solid 13 to 8 victory, but our last one didn't go so well, being on the losing side of 13 to 7. We dropped down to 31st place by the end of qualifications. It's still very respectable, but we didn't make eliminations, especially given that we're strangers in a land of old friend and allies. We did learn a an unquantifiable amount though, and have started making some friends. Next year is another season!<br><br />
I also met Mark (of AndyMark) and Karthik, among several others in addition to those from D&B and dinner. Andy from AndyMark came to find ''me''. I think I'll forever remember this event as "Andy Baker knows my name". I didn't talk to quite everyone I was aiming for, but pretty close. (My networking still leaves something to be desired. Like, say, extraversion. Also, age.) There's always next year, though!<br><br />
The mentor match was quite an experience--and less stressful, since we didn't have to worry so much about breaking things after alliance selection. Foster, Rizzo, Faith, Rita, and Clem did some great human player-ing. Clem, Rizzo, and I got a chance to drive (wow, this thing ''is'' pretty confusing, though it helps that DEWBOT III was along the same lines and much less cooperative), and Clem and I did some possessorizing. My old drive experience has been great for my coaching, but it's always good to have a refresher when I can. And refreshed I am! Though we bought (via auction) our way into the 5th alliance, we only managed to make the semifinals--but Clem got a great hat out of it. I did manage to hurt my chest pretty badly lifting the robot though, so it hurts to laugh--a real danger when spending the weekend and a ''long'' car ride with Clem, Foster, Rizzo, Jen, and Carly. Overall, a fun (and at least marginally educational time) was had by all.<br><br />
The award ceremonies were quite well done. A little disappointing in the morning (sorry to Jen), but Sasha, Andrew, and I have something up our sleeves for Duel on the Delaware. The highlight of the afternoon ceremony (for us) was Jack accepting his VEX award. Congrats on the win and your undefeated record, Jack! And aren't we glad at least some of us (including him) stayed at the school for lunch. Also thanks to Foster's sister for alerting us in time to get a photo!<br><br />
The eliminations were amazing! Also, amazingly long (really? five matches in SF2?) Entirely worth it though, especially once Clem, Foster, Jen (plus Rizzo during the numerous cool-down breaks and timeouts) found the prefect spot on the upper balcony. I've never seen so many teams so closely matched, so many amazingly engineering robots (or famous numbers) on one field, or such fantastic driving at any time in my FIRST career. In fact, I don't think I've seen such inspiring work in all of my FIRST experience combined. Watching the coaches was especially interesting, and I picked up a some good pointers. Thanks to the rest of the pit crew that packed the trailer after they got back from lunch, giving both Clem and I an unprecedented chance to actually ''watch'' so many matches. 23 total: I don't think I've watched that many from the stands at any of the other major competitions combined.<br><br />
:After many more finals rounds that originally expected (I thought I was going to miss class Tuesday too), the entire team headed to an all-you-care-to-eat Chinese buffet for dinner. Good food and lots of laughter (and well worth the chest pain). After dinner, Foster, Clem, Rizzo and I dropped Jen and Carly off and went out to Ruby Tuesday's. (I'm told the beer is better. Yeesh, it's hard to be a mentor under 21.) Another Unification Day toast and some good serious and not-so-serious conversation later, we called it a night.<br />
===Sunday===<br />
An early start at 6AM and were were off to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. ''Awesome'' museum! (ok, so many I'm biased.) It's also the headquarters for the Air Force Institute of Technology--quite possibly where I'll be doing my graduate degree in a few years. After the museum we headed for lunch at Olive Garden and then hit the road to drop me off in Harrisburg. The ride was filled with silly jokes (my how we've added to our lexicon), fun stories, and some discussion of our upcoming to do list. Also, and some very interesting music. (Not much of it in English, but I think I've got a think for '90s Spanish tunes now. The 1490s, that is.) After some GPS and traffic versus arrival time confusion, I (as I expected) missed the nightly bus, but got a ride up to Penn State anyway to still arrive Sunday night. Thus I only missed 2 classes (Thursday and Friday)--well worth it, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
==Jen==<br />
'''Thursday''' – Gosh, what a fun trip this was! This replaces Finger Lakes as my longest car ride I've ever been on. The car ride was filled with music, button-making, and, for Carly and me, playing Sims 2 Pets. We got some interesting phrases out of that. “This dog's name is Daisy,” *awkward silence* “it has worms.” I was told that I was a good source of entertainment for everyone else in the car.<br />
We stopped at a restaurant in West Virginia and met this awesome waiter named Brandon. If it wasn't for Foster mentioning this to me ahead of time, I probably would have been incredibly confused about the fact that West Virginia is adjacent to Pennsylvania. I should visit “Geographyland” more often. Visits to “Vocabularyland” would probably be helpful too, considering that I had to ask what “lexicon” meant.<Br><br />
Anyway, we also drove through Ohio and saw some cool stuff like farms, buildings, and some kind of an indoor water park or something. Yes it sounds weird, but it was a building with some water slides leading out of it then back in to another part of the building. Look at the photo gallery to figure out what I'm talking about. Finally, we got to the hotel at a reasonable time – 8 or 9pm if my memory serves right. Carly and I went to the fitness center and watched Comedy Central before bedtime.<br />
<br />
'''Friday''' – My day started off well when I made a friend in a rather strange way. Though that's not a surprise. As Carly says, I always randomly make friends at robotics competitions. As the elevator door opened on the second floor, Nicole and a boy I did not recognize stepped out of the elevator, thinking it was the floor with the lobby. (They didn't catch that it was stopping on my floor for me to get on before reaching their destination). I pointed this out to them, and as they walked back into the elevator I noticed that the boy was wearing a shirt that said “MORE Robotics” on it. “Hey, you're on a robotics team!” I said, pointing out the obvious. From there, I ran into this boy, whose name is Stefan, about a million times during the trip, both in the hotel and at the competition. On saturday night, he even knocked on our door by accident, and as it turns out he was looking for his friend in the room next to us.<br><br />
We headed over to the competition, which I'm glad to say was only seven minutes away from the hotel. After unloading the trailer and carrying stuff to the pit, Carly and I followed Nicole to other gym to find a place in the stands. Carly said, “Wow, this is 'lose your stuff city',” when we noticed that it was easy to drop stuff through big gaps in the bleachers. Luckily, we didn't drop things too often and nothing fragile (safety glasses, pompoms, and a water bottle, which fell about ten times in five minutes. The worst was Alex's phone, but it survived. It could have been worse, considering we had laptops and cameras up there).<br><br />
Unfortunately, being in the stands for most of the time as the “head cheerleader” (hehe, thank you to whoever gave me that title on [[DEWBOT VI Indiana Robotics Invitational]]) I was one of the first to notice how repetitive the music was. It wasn't terrible music... just... the same stuff over and over, both days. Anyway, Friday was the VEX tournament, which I watched and videotaped some of. It was fun to show my support and watch Jack bring home the gold.<br><br />
I moved straight from watching VEX to match scouting. When a team from Georgia decided last minute that they couldn't make it, the entire match schedule had to be re-done, and we couldn't get a head start on scouting. In fact, we actually fell behind on it. During the first five matches, I dashed back and forth from the pit to the stands asking Siri what teams to track during each match because she was still in the middle of making that list based on the updated match schedule. Come the sixth match, scouting became easier when we had the full list of future allies and opponents at hand.<Br><br />
I'm really proud of our performance during the matches. There were some wicked teams out there... teams who have won regionals, some even championships, and we still managed to keep up a pretty good seeding score. At one point we were 7th, but we ended the day with 21st.<Br><br />
It was nice seeing Foster's sister again. I talked to her for a bit, and I may even be involved with her team while I'm away at college because they're not far from RIT. At the very least, I'll go to their off-season event, Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus, in October.<br />
I was under the impression that all the teams would go to dinner at the same time, after the matches, and all eat together and socialize. (I'm really into the team socials, dontcha know?) Well, instead it was more like... go eat whenever you don't have a match to prepare for or play or watch... or ref. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.) But then the talent show right after dinner was phenomenal, which completely makes up for it. The acts ranged from musical performances to glowy spinny things with balls on strings. I enjoyed the skits. There was a rendition of “Who's on first?” and a skit involving a time machine. My favorite one was the volunteers' skit starring two girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha. (I actually saw them getting into costume before the talent show but didn't recognize them as the field reset volunteers who I'd seen plenty of times during the day). They had some technical difficulties (“Track 20!” “You're making Gaga angry!”), but they eventually got it working. Gaga sang about how she wrote a bad program (parody of “Bad Romance”), then a referee (cosplaying as Rizzo?) called her out on not wearing safety glasses, having inappropriate footwear, and standing on a chair.<br><br />
That night at the hotel, I talked to a group of students from team 111 and even met MC Dan Greene's daughter.<br />
<br />
'''Saturday''' – After seeing our hotel buddies, teams 1714 and 111, at breakfast, we headed over to the competition again. Sadly, neither Clem nor Siri won mentor of the year, and I didn't win a scholarship. We still looked forward to seeing Jack get his VEX award later that day. And something else that made my day was getting to talk to the girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha in the talent show!<br />
I took a peek at the silent auction. As a joke, they had the Woodie Flowers award sitting there. Some of the fake bids that people placed were hilarious. “Over $9000,” “Priceless,” and “My dad” were some of the offers.<br><br />
We played two more matches and ended up in the 31st seed. Amongst all the previous IRI winners, regional winners, championship division winners, it was some pretty tough competition, so we didn't get picked for an alliance. However, we went on to the mentor matches directly after alliance selection. We did really well until one of the alliance members broke down.<Br><br />
After the mentor matches, Jack got his award for the VEX tournament. Then, we watched the elimination rounds. They were fun to watch, even if they did drag on and on with so many ties. When they finally played a good dance song, a few of us ran down to the side of the field for the Cha-Cha Slide. There was a boy from the PVC Pirates who cracked me up because when there wasn't enough room to take “five hops this time,” he purposefully crashed face-first into the padded gym wall. Siri, Clem, and I went up to a good spot on the balcony for better camera shots of the “game breaker” bot.<br><br />
Once the never-ending finals finally ended, the team went out for our team dinner. I've gotta say, that whole lack of daylight savings time thing made lighting interesting. The sun set at about 9:30pm.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday''' – Our car visited the Airforce Museum in Dayton, Ohio on the way home. Even though Carly and I looked all around the gift shop, we were unable to find t-shirts that say, “I survived a day at the Airforce Museum.” Yeah, ok, I kid, I kid. It's nothing personal, we just don't like museums that much. Everyone else had fun, though, and there is this one awesome picture of me, Carly, and Siri about to be hit by a missile. Some of the mannequins were making funny faces, too.<br><br />
We passed through one of them “C” cities in Ohio on the way home, and I slept through West Virginia. We said goodbye to Siri in Harrisburg, then we arrived in Downingtown an hour or two later. And so ended our trip. It was quite a lot of fun, and I'd very much like to come back next year. Now I'm off to make a 1640 youtube account as per Foster's request and post some videos. The first video will probably be the VEX tournament since Foster asked for that and it requires very little editing. Ta-ta, ya'll.<br />

<div>==Foster==<br />
These are the quick notes from [[User:Foster | Foster's]] trip to IRI in 2010. <br />
<br />
'''''Thursday''''' - My car (Clem, Siri, Rizzo, Carley, Jen) left at exactly 8:30AM according to plan. After a short stop in Bedford we arrived at the Mecca of West Virgina '''Quaker Steak and Lube''' about 1PM. After fueling up on world class wings we headed west on I70. A mere 3 hours later we were at our next milestone '''Fricker's Chicken''' in Vandalia. After eating their world class wings and Chicken Chunks (are you seeing a theme here?) we got back on I70 to head towards the hotel. Wow, is I70 long and straight!<br />
<br />
The trip was filled full of music, bad puns, silly stories etc. The best part was the mini-button factory that did the final assembly of ''I'm xxx on CD'' and the Non-engineering Mentor buttons ''Doing all the work that isn't rocket science'' for Friday.<br />
<br />
It was cool to have technology in the car, we were able to keep up with CD and news of closing the oil well off. I wrote the first part of this post on I70 just outside of Indiana. (Did I say I70 was long?)<br />
<br />
We checked into the hotel and then it was off to '''Dave & Busters''' to deliver some buttons, '''Frickin Chicken Chunks''' to my sister and to meet the mentors. We spent about 2 hours there meeting new people, playing some games for cool prizes and having an end of the day beverage. Siri's buttons were a bigh hit, people were happy to get them. <br />
<br />
I met the wonderful Jane Young, Alan, Andy and Mark of AndyMark fame and spent some time talking to Ed from Rochester. Rizzo met most of the judging staff and swapped some "Well when I was reffing there was this team ..." stories. A pretty good session to close off the first day of IRI.<br />
<br />
'''''Friday''''' Dawn in Indianpolis came early, the final set of people didn't arrive until 2AM, so they had to sleep fast. But, when I got to the breakfast area most of our team was eating breakfast. We got out of the hotel about 7:20 and headed over to the school. <br />
<br />
The school is huge with two huge gyms. One that has an indoor 1/4 mile track, the other that holds 2 full sized basketball courts. <br />
<br />
I was busy working with Jack getting him set up with the VEX and getting the two demo robots ready to go so others could play on the. Jack did a great job of keeping the robot running and an even better job of driving the wheels off of it. It was a tough schedule with three matches in each round and three rounds. The finals were best out of three and Jack ended up with a flawless record of 11-0. He also had the high score of the day at 49 points. <br />
<br />
The big robot also had a pretty good day. We had some amazing partners that we played with and against. We closed out the day in 21st place. Somewhat due to our good seeding, somewhat due to the improvements we made to the robot. <br />
<br />
Dinner was cafeteria style with salad, lasagna, bread, and 5 kinds of dessert. I had a chance to eat with my sister. I don't see her very often and to be honest mostly at robot events. She had been a scorer / queue manager for most of the day (71 matches) so I got to hear about her day. <br />
<br />
The talent show was amazing, the acts were good, but the best part were the comments (written on whiteboard) by the panel of judges. ''Needs more cowbell'' takes on a new meaning!<br />
The best act was a ''spinny lighted ball act set to music'' that was very impressive. The encore with the Tesla music machines was very cool. <br />
<br />
So far IRI has exceeded my idea of what it would be like. I've see great robots in action and I've been able to go up and talk to the builders on how the robot works. People have been super nice helping out where they can. This has got to be one of the best organizied events that I've been to.<br />
<br />
'''''Saturday''''' - We started off the day getting the robot set up for the days matches. We gathered together for the opening ceremony. Afterwards was the long wait to play our next two matches. <br />
<br />
During the wait we watched some amazing matches. We got to see matches that ended with 5 robots hanging, the amazing Team 469 looper in a 6v0 match and the top teams in FRC going nose to nose. We lost our last match but got to see the first ever Breakaway suspension. <br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister and Team ''Exploding Bacon'' I had '''Skyline Chili''' the 5-Way: A 3-Way (spaghetti, covered with chili and topped shredded cheddar cheese) with diced onions and red beans. I ate with the team and learned that when someone comes into the room and goes "oink oink" they all go '''BOOM'''. Very entertaining. The chili was pretty good too. <br />
<br />
At the end of the qualifications we ended up in 31st place. A pretty good showing for the weekend. At noon we went through alliance selection, we were not chosen. <br />
<br />
Next up was the mentor match. We had enough donations in our bucket to have us be the 5th Seed Captain. We did quite well in the first two matches. I was the human player, grabbing balls from the goal for the second match. It was fun, but it's very bright and noisy on the field so it's hard to communicate with the other players. <br />
<br />
In between the second and third games one of our alliance partners found that their robot was broken. Since they were in the real finals they withdrew from the match. We promptly lost the next two matches against the Second Place seed and were out of the tournament. <br />
<br />
Next up was the loooonng finals cycle. There were an amazing number of ties and an even larger collection of rubber matches. Not to mention rubber matches that ended up in ties. All in all we got to see some great competition, but the last match did not finish until 6:15PM<br />
<br />
'''''Sunday''''' - We left the hotel for breakfast at 6:15AM and were headed East at 7AM. With some minor problems due to Dayton road construction we arrived at the [[http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ |National Museum of the US Air Force]]'''. <br />
<br />
Which turned out to be a super place (well if you are into airplanes or rockets) to visit. It consists of three giant hangers that are filled with aircraft. The first exhibits are early gliders and a replica of the first Wright Flyer. From there on it's a chronological tour of US aircraft with some from England, Japan and Russia. At the far end is a tall round building that has exhibits showing off manned near-space and space flights. There is also a collection of rockets. <br />
<br />
After a three hour tour we headed off to lunch at the '''Olive Garden'''. By 1PM we were once again heading east listening to bagpipe music and popular songs from Spain in 1496. We hit a backup in Columbus so we did a quick detour through downtown Columbus. Since it was Sunday there was very little traffic so it wasn't a big deal. <br />
<br />
Dinner was a gas and go at '''Sheetz''', but I got one of my favorites, a slaw dog with bacon and cheese! We pulled into Downingtown at 9:45, and I was tucked into bed by 10:30. <br />
<br />
'''''Overall''''' - It was a great weekend. <br />
* I got to see and talk to my sister, which has been one of the biggest bonus features of FIRST<br />
* Great robots, I got to see the insides and talk to the teams of some very good robots.<br />
* Great people, I met a ton of people that I've wanted to meet face to face<br />
* The Saturday NEMO meeting gave me some good contacts for things we need to do in 2011. <br />
* Food!<br />
* Air Force Museum<br />
* Fun - it was 4 days of non-stop fun<br />
<br />
'''More Cowbell!!!''' and "I have to ref a match!"<br />
<br />
==Siri==<br />
===Thursday===<br />
I was in Foster's van ("it's a rental") on the rides to and from IRI--and what awesome rides they were. He's about covered all the stops along the way, though I must that Quaker Steak is quite an interesting place...albeit less interesting when getting the check takes longer than eliminations at IRI. '''Dave & Busters''' was a lot of fun, though also a little stressful being my first mentor (all of whom were more than twice my age) meet-and-greet. I felt ''very'' (no, ''very'') young, but it was still a great time. The "Hi, I'm...on CD" and non-rocket science NEMO buttons were a good conversation starter too--I think I'll keep that up. I got to meeting Stu (the Head Ref), Carolyn (the NEMO meeting coordinator), Jim (later the IRI 2010 Mentor of the Year, congratulations), and Jane Young, among others, plus toast [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Day_%28Firefly%29 Unification Day] and have some great conversations with Clem, Foster, and Rizzo.<br />
===Friday===<br />
Wow! So that's what "Inspiration Lives Here" means. This place is amazing. We had some problems with the kicker, possessor, and IR sensors, but still ended up doing quite well--ranking 7th at one point and hanging around 15th or so. I was not expecting that, given a field of almost 80 of the best teams in FIRST. And what robots they were! Seeing 469, 1114, 148, 33, and dozens of others up close was amazing. Meeting the teams and working with the drive teams was truly enlightening as well.<br><br />
The drive team is really meshing well, and I think I'm getting pretty well used to this coaching thin. (Or so Carly claims, and she's not really one to placate.) It was a bit of a rough start this year: driver controls are ''way'' more complicated than ever before, but Carly and Sasha are both adapting well. We're starting to read each other like the old days, and it's not so stressful--though the pressure is still completely on.<br><br />
We had some absolutely spectacular matches today! Match 32 was a 1-on-2 virtual shut out. Match 40 was another fantastic defensive game, especially considering 1058's consistency at scoring from the middle zone. (Wish we could do that so well!) In Match 57, we got to show off our striking skills, scoring probably 10 goals in one match in addition to pinning opposing defense so our allies could score.<br><br />
Clem and I also actually got to sit down, inside, for lunch, for a full 10 minutes. I'm not sure that's ever happened before at a major competition. Quite pleasant. Foster and I also ran into a couple of guys from Lockheed Martin. With a little luck, we might even get something out of it. I even got a little bit of a chance to check in on scouting, though I still have some work to really get that department up and running. (Though it's easier at competitions where the match schedule can stay the same...and the DS communication works...yeah, ok, never mind.)<br><br />
This is a ridiculously well organized event. They start queuing us very early, but who am I to complain when they manage to keep 78 teams virtually on schedule for 104 matches without radios between the pits and queuing? But other than that and my request for the DJs to have a "previously played" list (it's going to take me a while to re-enjoy "Don't Stop Believing"), there didn't seem to be a single issue. These guys a top notch, my hat's of to them. The extra events--silent auction, backpacks for 2nd graders, mentor match, talent show, are also superbly executed. This may well be the best competition I've ever attended, on- or off-season.<br><br />
I had dinner and great conversation with Foster and his sister and later Rizzo and Koko Ed. (Well, it was a lot of food.) We did have some mechanical difficulties to fix afterward and ended up missing most of the talent show (minus the Tesla music & string raving and Jim's "singing"). Overall, we're preforming quite admirably. I know I'm admiring it.<br />
===Saturday===<br />
What a day--what an event. Our first match of the day was a solid 13 to 8 victory, but our last one didn't go so well, being on the losing side of 13 to 7. We dropped down to 31st place by the end of qualifications. It's still very respectable, but we didn't make eliminations, especially given that we're strangers in a land of old friend and allies. We did learn a an unquantifiable amount though, and have started making some friends. Next year is another season!<br><br />
I also met Mark (of AndyMark) and Karthik, among several others in addition to those from D&B and dinner. Andy from AndyMark came to find ''me''. I think I'll forever remember this event as "Andy Baker knows my name". I didn't talk to quite everyone I was aiming for, but pretty close. (My networking still leaves something to be desired. Like, say, extraversion. Also, age.) There's always next year, though!<br><br />
The mentor match was quite an experience--and less stressful, since we didn't have to worry so much about breaking things after alliance selection. Foster, Rizzo, Faith, Rita, and Clem did some great human player-ing. Clem, Rizzo, and I got a chance to drive (wow, this thing ''is'' pretty confusing, though it helps that DEWBOT III was along the same lines and much less cooperative), and Clem and I did some possessorizing. My old drive experience has been great for my coaching, but it's always good to have a refresher when I can. And refreshed I am! Though we bought (via auction) our way into the 5th alliance, we only managed to make the semifinals--but Clem got a great hat out of it. I did manage to hurt my chest pretty badly lifting the robot though, so it hurts to laugh--a real danger when spending the weekend and a ''long'' car ride with Clem, Foster, Rizzo, Jen, and Carly. Overall, a fun (and at least marginally educational time) was had by all.<br><br />
The award ceremonies were quite well done. A little disappointing in the morning (sorry to Jen), but Sasha, Andrew, and I have something up our sleeves for Duel on the Delaware. The highlight of the afternoon ceremony (for us) was Jack accepting his VEX award. Congrats on the win and your undefeated record, Jack! And aren't we glad at least some of us (including him) stayed at the school for lunch. Also thanks to Foster's sister for alerting us in time to get a photo!<br><br />
The eliminations were amazing! Also, amazingly long (really? five matches in SF2?) Entirely worth it though, especially once Clem, Foster, Jen (plus Rizzo during the numerous cool-down breaks and timeouts) found the prefect spot on the upper balcony. I've never seen so many teams so closely matched, so many amazingly engineering robots (or famous numbers) on one field, or such fantastic driving at any time in my FIRST career. In fact, I don't think I've seen such inspiring work in all of my FIRST experience combined. Watching the coaches was especially interesting, and I picked up a some good pointers. Thanks to the rest of the pit crew that packed the trailer after they got back from lunch, giving both Clem and I an unprecedented chance to actually ''watch'' so many matches. 23 total: I don't think I've watched that many from the stands at any of the other major competitions combined.<br><br />
:After many more finals rounds that originally expected (I thought I was going to miss class Tuesday too), the entire team headed to an all-you-care-to-eat Chinese buffet for dinner. Good food and lots of laughter (and well worth the chest pain). After dinner, Foster, Clem, Rizzo and I dropped Jen and Carly off and went out to Ruby Tuesday's. (I'm told the beer is better. Yeesh, it's hard to be a mentor under 21.) Another Unification Day toast and some good serious and not-so-serious conversation later, we called it a night.<br />
===Sunday===<br />
An early start at 6AM and were were off to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. ''Awesome'' museum! (ok, so many I'm biased.) It's also the headquarters for the Air Force Institute of Technology--quite possibly where I'll be doing my graduate degree in a few years. After the museum we headed for lunch at Olive Garden and then hit the road to drop me off in Harrisburg. The ride was filled with silly jokes (my how we've added to our lexicon), fun stories, and some discussion of our upcoming to do list. Also, and some very interesting music. (Not much of it in English, but I think I've got a think for '90s Spanish tunes now. The 1490s, that is.) After some GPS and traffic versus arrival time confusion, I (as I expected) missed the nightly bus, but got a ride up to Penn State anyway to still arrive Sunday night. Thus I only missed 2 classes (Thursday and Friday)--well worth it, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
==Jen==<br />
'''Thursday''' – Gosh, what a fun trip this was! This replaces Finger Lakes as my longest car ride I've ever been on. The car ride was filled with music, button-making, and, for Carly and me, playing Sims 2 Pets. We got some interesting phrases out of that. “This dog's name is Daisy,” *awkward silence* “it has worms.” I was told that I was a good source of entertainment for everyone else in the car.<br />
We stopped at a restaurant in West Virginia and met this awesome waiter named Brandon. If it wasn't for Foster mentioning this to me ahead of time, I probably would have been incredibly confused about the fact that West Virginia is adjacent to Pennsylvania. I should visit “Geographyland” more often. Visits to “Vocabularyland” would probably be helpful too, considering that I had to ask what “lexicon” meant.<Br><br />
Anyway, we also drove through Ohio and saw some cool stuff like farms, buildings, and some kind of an indoor water park or something. Yes it sounds weird, but it was a building with some water slides leading out of it then back in to another part of the building. Look at the photo gallery to figure out what I'm talking about. Finally, we got to the hotel at a reasonable time – 8 or 9pm if my memory serves right. Carly and I went to the fitness center and watched Comedy Central before bedtime.<br />
<br />
'''Friday''' – My day started off well when I made a friend in a rather strange way. Though that's not a surprise. As Carly says, I always randomly make friends at robotics competitions. As the elevator door opened on the second floor, Nicole and a boy I did not recognize stepped out of the elevator, thinking it was the floor with the lobby. (They didn't catch that it was stopping on my floor for me to get on before reaching their destination). I pointed this out to them, and as they walked back into the elevator I noticed that the boy was wearing a shirt that said “MORE Robotics” on it. “Hey, you're on a robotics team!” I said, pointing out the obvious. From there, I ran into this boy, whose name is Stefan, about a million times during the trip, both in the hotel and at the competition. On saturday night, he even knocked on our door by accident, and as it turns out he was looking for his friend in the room next to us.<br />
We headed over to the competition, which I'm glad to say was only seven minutes away from the hotel. After unloading the trailer and carrying stuff to the pit, Carly and I followed Nicole to other gym to find a place in the stands. Carly said, “Wow, this is 'lose your stuff city',” when we noticed that it was easy to drop stuff through big gaps in the bleachers. Luckily, we didn't drop things too often and nothing fragile (safety glasses, pompoms, and a water bottle, which fell about ten times in five minutes. The worst was Alex's phone, but it survived. It could have been worse, considering we had laptops and cameras up there).<br><br />
Unfortunately, being in the stands for most of the time as the “head cheerleader” (hehe, thank you to whoever gave me that title on [[DEWBOT VI Indiana Robotics Invitational]]) I was one of the first to notice how repetitive the music was. It wasn't terrible music... just... the same stuff over and over, both days. Anyway, Friday was the VEX tournament, which I watched and videotaped some of. It was fun to show my support and watch Jack bring home the gold.<br><br />
I moved straight from watching VEX to match scouting. When a team from Georgia decided last minute that they couldn't make it, the entire match schedule had to be re-done, and we couldn't get a head start on scouting. In fact, we actually fell behind on it. During the first five matches, I dashed back and forth from the pit to the stands asking Siri what teams to track during each match because she was still in the middle of making that list based on the updated match schedule. Come the sixth match, scouting became easier when we had the full list of future allies and opponents at hand.<Br><br />
I'm really proud of our performance during the matches. There were some wicked teams out there... teams who have won regionals, some even championships, and we still managed to keep up a pretty good seeding score. At one point we were 7th, but we ended the day with 21st.<Br><br />
It was nice seeing Foster's sister again. I talked to her for a bit, and I may even be involved with her team while I'm away at college because they're not far from RIT. At the very least, I'll go to their off-season event, Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus, in October.<br />
I was under the impression that all the teams would go to dinner at the same time, after the matches, and all eat together and socialize. (I'm really into the team socials, dontcha know?) Well, instead it was more like... go eat whenever you don't have a match to prepare for or play or watch... or ref. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.) But then the talent show right after dinner was phenomenal, which completely makes up for it. The acts ranged from musical performances to glowy spinny things with balls on strings. I enjoyed the skits. There was a rendition of “Who's on first?” and a skit involving a time machine. My favorite one was the volunteers' skit starring two girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha. (I actually saw them getting into costume before the talent show but didn't recognize them as the field reset volunteers who I'd seen plenty of times during the day). They had some technical difficulties (“Track 20!” “You're making Gaga angry!”), but they eventually got it working. Gaga sang about how she wrote a bad program (parody of “Bad Romance”), then a referee (cosplaying as Rizzo?) called her out on not wearing safety glasses, having inappropriate footwear, and standing on a chair.<br><br />
That night at the hotel, I talked to a group of students from team 111 and even met MC Dan Greene's daughter.<br />
<br />
'''Saturday''' – After seeing our hotel buddies, teams 1714 and 111, at breakfast, we headed over to the competition again. Sadly, neither Clem nor Siri won mentor of the year, and I didn't win a scholarship. We still looked forward to seeing Jack get his VEX award later that day. And something else that made my day was getting to talk to the girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha in the talent show!<br />
I took a peek at the silent auction. As a joke, they had the Woodie Flowers award sitting there. Some of the fake bids that people placed were hilarious. “Over $9000,” “Priceless,” and “My dad” were some of the offers.<br><br />
We played two more matches and ended up in the 31st seed. Amongst all the previous IRI winners, regional winners, championship division winners, it was some pretty tough competition, so we didn't get picked for an alliance. However, we went on to the mentor matches directly after alliance selection. We did really well until one of the alliance members broke down.<Br><br />
After the mentor matches, Jack got his award for the VEX tournament. Then, we watched the elimination rounds. They were fun to watch, even if they did drag on and on with so many ties. When they finally played a good dance song, a few of us ran down to the side of the field for the Cha-Cha Slide. There was a boy from the PVC Pirates who cracked me up because when there wasn't enough room to take “five hops this time,” he purposefully crashed face-first into the padded gym wall. Siri, Clem, and I went up to a good spot on the balcony for better camera shots of the “game breaker” bot.<br><br />
Once the never-ending finals finally ended, the team went out for our team dinner. I've gotta say, that whole lack of daylight savings time thing made lighting interesting. The sun set at about 9:30pm.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday''' – Our car visited the Airforce Museum in Dayton, Ohio on the way home. Even though Carly and I looked all around the gift shop, we were unable to find t-shirts that say, “I survived a day at the Airforce Museum.” Yeah, ok, I kid, I kid. It's nothing personal, we just don't like museums that much. Everyone else had fun, though, and there is this one awesome picture of me, Carly, and Siri about to be hit by a missile. Some of the mannequins were making funny faces, too.<br><br />
We passed through one of them “C” cities in Ohio on the way home, and I slept through West Virginia. We said goodbye to Siri in Harrisburg, then we arrived in Downingtown an hour or two later. And so ended our trip. It was quite a lot of fun, and I'd very much like to come back next year. Now I'm off to make a 1640 youtube account as per Foster's request and post some videos. The first video will probably be the VEX tournament since Foster asked for that and it requires very little editing. Ta-ta, ya'll.<br />

<div>==Foster==<br />
These are the quick notes from [[User:Foster | Foster's]] trip to IRI in 2010. <br />
<br />
'''''Thursday''''' - My car (Clem, Siri, Rizzo, Carley, Jen) left at exactly 8:30AM according to plan. After a short stop in Bedford we arrived at the Mecca of West Virgina '''Quaker Steak and Lube''' about 1PM. After fueling up on world class wings we headed west on I70. A mere 3 hours later we were at our next milestone '''Fricker's Chicken''' in Vandalia. After eating their world class wings and Chicken Chunks (are you seeing a theme here?) we got back on I70 to head towards the hotel. Wow, is I70 long and straight!<br />
<br />
The trip was filled full of music, bad puns, silly stories etc. The best part was the mini-button factory that did the final assembly of ''I'm xxx on CD'' and the Non-engineering Mentor buttons ''Doing all the work that isn't rocket science'' for Friday.<br />
<br />
It was cool to have technology in the car, we were able to keep up with CD and news of closing the oil well off. I wrote the first part of this post on I70 just outside of Indiana. (Did I say I70 was long?)<br />
<br />
We checked into the hotel and then it was off to '''Dave & Busters''' to deliver some buttons, '''Frickin Chicken Chunks''' to my sister and to meet the mentors. We spent about 2 hours there meeting new people, playing some games for cool prizes and having an end of the day beverage. Siri's buttons were a bigh hit, people were happy to get them. <br />
<br />
I met the wonderful Jane Young, Alan, Andy and Mark of AndyMark fame and spent some time talking to Ed from Rochester. Rizzo met most of the judging staff and swapped some "Well when I was reffing there was this team ..." stories. A pretty good session to close off the first day of IRI.<br />
<br />
'''''Friday''''' Dawn in Indianpolis came early, the final set of people didn't arrive until 2AM, so they had to sleep fast. But, when I got to the breakfast area most of our team was eating breakfast. We got out of the hotel about 7:20 and headed over to the school. <br />
<br />
The school is huge with two huge gyms. One that has an indoor 1/4 mile track, the other that holds 2 full sized basketball courts. <br />
<br />
I was busy working with Jack getting him set up with the VEX and getting the two demo robots ready to go so others could play on the. Jack did a great job of keeping the robot running and an even better job of driving the wheels off of it. It was a tough schedule with three matches in each round and three rounds. The finals were best out of three and Jack ended up with a flawless record of 11-0. He also had the high score of the day at 49 points. <br />
<br />
The big robot also had a pretty good day. We had some amazing partners that we played with and against. We closed out the day in 21st place. Somewhat due to our good seeding, somewhat due to the improvements we made to the robot. <br />
<br />
Dinner was cafeteria style with salad, lasagna, bread, and 5 kinds of dessert. I had a chance to eat with my sister. I don't see her very often and to be honest mostly at robot events. She had been a scorer / queue manager for most of the day (71 matches) so I got to hear about her day. <br />
<br />
The talent show was amazing, the acts were good, but the best part were the comments (written on whiteboard) by the panel of judges. ''Needs more cowbell'' takes on a new meaning!<br />
The best act was a ''spinny lighted ball act set to music'' that was very impressive. The encore with the Tesla music machines was very cool. <br />
<br />
So far IRI has exceeded my idea of what it would be like. I've see great robots in action and I've been able to go up and talk to the builders on how the robot works. People have been super nice helping out where they can. This has got to be one of the best organizied events that I've been to.<br />
<br />
'''''Saturday''''' - We started off the day getting the robot set up for the days matches. We gathered together for the opening ceremony. Afterwards was the long wait to play our next two matches. <br />
<br />
During the wait we watched some amazing matches. We got to see matches that ended with 5 robots hanging, the amazing Team 469 looper in a 6v0 match and the top teams in FRC going nose to nose. We lost our last match but got to see the first ever Breakaway suspension. <br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister and Team ''Exploding Bacon'' I had '''Skyline Chili''' the 5-Way: A 3-Way (spaghetti, covered with chili and topped shredded cheddar cheese) with diced onions and red beans. I ate with the team and learned that when someone comes into the room and goes "oink oink" they all go '''BOOM'''. Very entertaining. The chili was pretty good too. <br />
<br />
At the end of the qualifications we ended up in 31st place. A pretty good showing for the weekend. At noon we went through alliance selection, we were not chosen. <br />
<br />
Next up was the mentor match. We had enough donations in our bucket to have us be the 5th Seed Captain. We did quite well in the first two matches. I was the human player, grabbing balls from the goal for the second match. It was fun, but it's very bright and noisy on the field so it's hard to communicate with the other players. <br />
<br />
In between the second and third games one of our alliance partners found that their robot was broken. Since they were in the real finals they withdrew from the match. We promptly lost the next two matches against the Second Place seed and were out of the tournament. <br />
<br />
Next up was the loooonng finals cycle. There were an amazing number of ties and an even larger collection of rubber matches. Not to mention rubber matches that ended up in ties. All in all we got to see some great competition, but the last match did not finish until 6:15PM<br />
<br />
'''''Sunday''''' - We left the hotel for breakfast at 6:15AM and were headed East at 7AM. With some minor problems due to Dayton road construction we arrived at the [[http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ |National Museum of the US Air Force]]'''. <br />
<br />
Which turned out to be a super place (well if you are into airplanes or rockets) to visit. It consists of three giant hangers that are filled with aircraft. The first exhibits are early gliders and a replica of the first Wright Flyer. From there on it's a chronological tour of US aircraft with some from England, Japan and Russia. At the far end is a tall round building that has exhibits showing off manned near-space and space flights. There is also a collection of rockets. <br />
<br />
After a three hour tour we headed off to lunch at the '''Olive Garden'''. By 1PM we were once again heading east listening to bagpipe music and popular songs from Spain in 1496. We hit a backup in Columbus so we did a quick detour through downtown Columbus. Since it was Sunday there was very little traffic so it wasn't a big deal. <br />
<br />
Dinner was a gas and go at '''Sheetz''', but I got one of my favorites, a slaw dog with bacon and cheese! We pulled into Downingtown at 9:45, and I was tucked into bed by 10:30. <br />
<br />
'''''Overall''''' - It was a great weekend. <br />
* I got to see and talk to my sister, which has been one of the biggest bonus features of FIRST<br />
* Great robots, I got to see the insides and talk to the teams of some very good robots.<br />
* Great people, I met a ton of people that I've wanted to meet face to face<br />
* The Saturday NEMO meeting gave me some good contacts for things we need to do in 2011. <br />
* Food!<br />
* Air Force Museum<br />
* Fun - it was 4 days of non-stop fun<br />
<br />
'''More Cowbell!!!''' and "I have to ref a match!"<br />
<br />
==Siri==<br />
===Thursday===<br />
I was in Foster's van ("it's a rental") on the rides to and from IRI--and what awesome rides they were. He's about covered all the stops along the way, though I must that Quaker Steak is quite an interesting place...albeit less interesting when getting the check takes longer than eliminations at IRI. '''Dave & Busters''' was a lot of fun, though also a little stressful being my first mentor (all of whom were more than twice my age) meet-and-greet. I felt ''very'' (no, ''very'') young, but it was still a great time. The "Hi, I'm...on CD" and non-rocket science NEMO buttons were a good conversation starter too--I think I'll keep that up. I got to meeting Stu (the Head Ref), Carolyn (the NEMO meeting coordinator), Jim (later the IRI 2010 Mentor of the Year, congratulations), and Jane Young, among others, plus toast [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Day_%28Firefly%29 Unification Day] and have some great conversations with Clem, Foster, and Rizzo.<br />
===Friday===<br />
Wow! So that's what "Inspiration Lives Here" means. This place is amazing. We had some problems with the kicker, possessor, and IR sensors, but still ended up doing quite well--ranking 7th at one point and hanging around 15th or so. I was not expecting that, given a field of almost 80 of the best teams in FIRST. And what robots they were! Seeing 469, 1114, 148, 33, and dozens of others up close was amazing. Meeting the teams and working with the drive teams was truly enlightening as well.<br><br />
The drive team is really meshing well, and I think I'm getting pretty well used to this coaching thin. (Or so Carly claims, and she's not really one to placate.) It was a bit of a rough start this year: driver controls are ''way'' more complicated than ever before, but Carly and Sasha are both adapting well. We're starting to read each other like the old days, and it's not so stressful--though the pressure is still completely on.<br><br />
We had some absolutely spectacular matches today! Match 32 was a 1-on-2 virtual shut out. Match 40 was another fantastic defensive game, especially considering 1058's consistency at scoring from the middle zone. (Wish we could do that so well!) In Match 57, we got to show off our striking skills, scoring probably 10 goals in one match in addition to pinning opposing defense so our allies could score.<br><br />
Clem and I also actually got to sit down, inside, for lunch, for a full 10 minutes. I'm not sure that's ever happened before at a major competition. Quite pleasant. Foster and I also ran into a couple of guys from Lockheed Martin. With a little luck, we might even get something out of it. I even got a little bit of a chance to check in on scouting, though I still have some work to really get that department up and running. (Though it's easier at competitions where the match schedule can stay the same...and the DS communication works...yeah, ok, never mind.)<br><br />
This is a ridiculously well organized event. They start queuing us very early, but who am I to complain when they manage to keep 78 teams virtually on schedule for 104 matches without radios between the pits and queuing? But other than that and my request for the DJs to have a "previously played" list (it's going to take me a while to re-enjoy "Don't Stop Believing"), there didn't seem to be a single issue. These guys a top notch, my hat's of to them. The extra events--silent auction, backpacks for 2nd graders, mentor match, talent show, are also superbly executed. This may well be the best competition I've ever attended, on- or off-season.<br><br />
I had dinner and great conversation with Foster and his sister and later Rizzo and Koko Ed. (Well, it was a lot of food.) We did have some mechanical difficulties to fix afterward and ended up missing most of the talent show (minus the Tesla music & string raving and Jim's "singing"). Overall, we're preforming quite admirably. I know I'm admiring it.<br />
===Saturday===<br />
What a day--what an event. Our first match of the day was a solid 13 to 8 victory, but our last one didn't go so well, being on the losing side of 13 to 7. We dropped down to 31st place by the end of qualifications. It's still very respectable, but we didn't make eliminations, especially given that we're strangers in a land of old friend and allies. We did learn a an unquantifiable amount though, and have started making some friends. Next year is another season!<br><br />
I also met Mark (of AndyMark) and Karthik, among several others in addition to those from D&B and dinner. Andy from AndyMark came to find ''me''. I think I'll forever remember this event as "Andy Baker knows my name". I didn't talk to quite everyone I was aiming for, but pretty close. (My networking still leaves something to be desired. Like, say, extraversion. Also, age.) There's always next year, though!<br><br />
The mentor match was quite an experience--and less stressful, since we didn't have to worry so much about breaking things after alliance selection. Foster, Rizzo, Faith, Rita, and Clem did some great human player-ing. Clem, Rizzo, and I got a chance to drive (wow, this thing ''is'' pretty confusing, though it helps that DEWBOT III was along the same lines and much less cooperative), and Clem and I did some possessorizing. My old drive experience has been great for my coaching, but it's always good to have a refresher when I can. And refreshed I am! Though we bought (via auction) our way into the 5th alliance, we only managed to make the semifinals--but Clem got a great hat out of it. I did manage to hurt my chest pretty badly lifting the robot though, so it hurts to laugh--a real danger when spending the weekend and a ''long'' car ride with Clem, Foster, Rizzo, Jen, and Carly. Overall, a fun (and at least marginally educational time) was had by all.<br><br />
The award ceremonies were quite well done. A little disappointing in the morning (sorry to Jen), but Sasha, Andrew, and I have something up our sleeves for Duel on the Delaware. The highlight of the afternoon ceremony (for us) was Jack accepting his VEX award. Congrats on the win and your undefeated record, Jack! And aren't we glad at least some of us (including him) stayed at the school for lunch. Also thanks to Foster's sister for alerting us in time to get a photo!<br><br />
The eliminations were amazing! Also, amazingly long (really? five matches in SF2?) Entirely worth it though, especially once Clem, Foster, Jen (plus Rizzo during the numerous cool-down breaks and timeouts) found the prefect spot on the upper balcony. I've never seen so many teams so closely matched, so many amazingly engineering robots (or famous numbers) on one field, or such fantastic driving at any time in my FIRST career. In fact, I don't think I've seen such inspiring work in all of my FIRST experience combined. Watching the coaches was especially interesting, and I picked up a some good pointers. Thanks to the rest of the pit crew that packed the trailer after they got back from lunch, giving both Clem and I an unprecedented chance to actually ''watch'' so many matches. 23 total: I don't think I've watched that many from the stands at any of the other major competitions combined.<br><br />
:After many more finals rounds that originally expected (I thought I was going to miss class Tuesday too), the entire team headed to an all-you-care-to-eat Chinese buffet for dinner. Good food and lots of laughter (and well worth the chest pain). After dinner, Foster, Clem, Rizzo and I dropped Jen and Carly off and went out to Ruby Tuesday's. (I'm told the beer is better. Yeesh, it's hard to be a mentor under 21.) Another Unification Day toast and some good serious and not-so-serious conversation later, we called it a night.<br />
===Sunday===<br />
An early start at 6AM and were were off to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. ''Awesome'' museum! (ok, so many I'm biased.) It's also the headquarters for the Air Force Institute of Technology--quite possibly where I'll be doing my graduate degree in a few years. After the museum we headed for lunch at Olive Garden and then hit the road to drop me off in Harrisburg. The ride was filled with silly jokes (my how we've added to our lexicon), fun stories, and some discussion of our upcoming to do list. Also, and some very interesting music. (Not much of it in English, but I think I've got a think for '90s Spanish tunes now. The 1490s, that is.) After some GPS and traffic versus arrival time confusion, I (as I expected) missed the nightly bus, but got a ride up to Penn State anyway to still arrive Sunday night. Thus I only missed 2 classes (Thursday and Friday)--well worth it, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
==Jen==<br />
'''Thursday''' – Gosh, what a fun trip this was! This replaces Finger Lakes as my longest car ride I've ever been on. The car ride was filled with music, button-making, and, for Carly and me, playing Sims 2 Pets. We got some interesting phrases out of that. “This dog's name is Daisy,” *awkward silence* “it has worms.” I was told that I was a good source of entertainment for everyone else in the car.<br />
We stopped at a restaurant in West Virginia and met this awesome waiter named Brandon. If it wasn't for Foster mentioning this to me ahead of time, I probably would have been incredibly confused about the fact that West Virginia is adjacent to Pennsylvania. I should visit “Geographyland” more often. Visits to “Vocabularyland” would probably be helpful too, considering that I had to ask what “lexicon” meant.<Br><br />
Anyway, we also drove through Ohio and saw some cool stuff like farms, buildings, and some kind of an indoor water park or something. Yes it sounds weird, but it was a building with some water slides leading out of it then back in to another part of the building. Look at the photo gallery to figure out what I'm talking about. Finally, we got to the hotel at a reasonable time – 8 or 9pm if my memory serves right. Carly and I went to the fitness center and watched Comedy Central before bedtime.<br />
<br />
'''Friday''' – My day started off well when I made a friend in a rather strange way. Though that's not a surprise. As Carly says, I always randomly make friends at robotics competitions. As the elevator door opened on the second floor, Nicole and a boy I did not recognize stepped out of the elevator, thinking it was the floor with the lobby. (They didn't catch that it was stopping on my floor for me to get on before reaching their destination). I pointed this out to them, and as they walked back into the elevator I noticed that the boy was wearing a shirt that said “MORE Robotics” on it. “Hey, you're on a robotics team!” I said, pointing out the obvious. From there, I ran into this boy, whose name is Stefan, about a million times during the trip, both in the hotel and at the competition. On saturday night, he even knocked on our door by accident, and as it turns out he was looking for his friend in the room next to us.<br />
We headed over to the competition, which I'm glad to say was only seven minutes away from the hotel. After unloading the trailer and carrying stuff to the pit, Carly and I followed Nicole to other gym to find a place in the stands. Carly said, “Wow, this is 'lose your stuff city',” when we noticed that it was easy to drop stuff through big gaps in the bleachers. Luckily, we didn't drop things too often and nothing fragile (safety glasses, pompoms, and a water bottle, which fell about ten times in five minutes. The worst was Alex's phone, but it survived. It could have been worse, considering we had laptops and cameras up there).<br />
Unfortunately, being in the stands for most of the time as the “head cheerleader” (hehe, thank you to whoever gave me that title on [[DEWBOT VI Indiana Robotics Invitational]]) I was one of the first to notice how repetitive the music was. It wasn't terrible music... just... the same stuff over and over, both days. Anyway, Friday was the VEX tournament, which I watched and videotaped some of. It was fun to show my support and watch Jack bring home the gold.<br />
I moved straight from watching VEX to match scouting. When a team from Georgia decided last minute that they couldn't make it, the entire match schedule had to be re-done, and we couldn't get a head start on scouting. In fact, we actually fell behind on it. During the first five matches, I dashed back and forth from the pit to the stands asking Siri what teams to track during each match because she was still in the middle of making that list based on the updated match schedule. Come the sixth match, scouting became easier when we had the full list of future allies and opponents at hand.<br />
I'm really proud of our performance during the matches. There were some wicked teams out there... teams who have won regionals, some even championships, and we still managed to keep up a pretty good seeding score. At one point we were 7th, but we ended the day with 21st.<br />
It was nice seeing Foster's sister again. I talked to her for a bit, and I may even be involved with her team while I'm away at college because they're not far from RIT. At the very least, I'll go to their off-season event, Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus, in October.<br />
I was under the impression that all the teams would go to dinner at the same time, after the matches, and all eat together and socialize. (I'm really into the team socials, dontcha know?) Well, instead it was more like... go eat whenever you don't have a match to prepare for or play or watch... or ref. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.) But then the talent show right after dinner was phenomenal, which completely makes up for it. The acts ranged from musical performances to glowy spinny things with balls on strings. I enjoyed the skits. There was a rendition of “Who's on first?” and a skit involving a time machine. My favorite one was the volunteers' skit starring two girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha. (I actually saw them getting into costume before the talent show but didn't recognize them as the field reset volunteers who I'd seen plenty of times during the day). They had some technical difficulties (“Track 20!” “You're making Gaga angry!”), but they eventually got it working. Gaga sang about how she wrote a bad program (parody of “Bad Romance”), then a referee (cosplaying as Rizzo?) called her out on not wearing safety glasses, having inappropriate footwear, and standing on a chair.<br />
That night at the hotel, I talked to a group of students from team 111 and even met MC Dan Greene's daughter.<br />
<br />
'''Saturday''' – After seeing our hotel buddies, teams 1714 and 111, at breakfast, we headed over to the competition again. Sadly, neither Clem nor Siri won mentor of the year, and I didn't win a scholarship. We still looked forward to seeing Jack get his VEX award later that day. And something else that made my day was getting to talk to the girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha in the talent show!<br />
I took a peek at the silent auction. As a joke, they had the Woodie Flowers award sitting there. Some of the fake bids that people placed were hilarious. “Over $9000,” “Priceless,” and “My dad” were some of the offers.<br />
We played two more matches and ended up in the 31st seed. Amongst all the previous IRI winners, regional winners, championship division winners, it was some pretty tough competition, so we didn't get picked for an alliance. However, we went on to the mentor matches directly after alliance selection. We did really well until one of the alliance members broke down.<br />
After the mentor matches, Jack got his award for the VEX tournament. Then, we watched the elimination rounds. They were fun to watch, even if they did drag on and on with so many ties. When they finally played a good dance song, a few of us ran down to the side of the field for the Cha-Cha Slide. There was a boy from the PVC Pirates who cracked me up because when there wasn't enough room to take “five hops this time,” he purposefully crashed face-first into the padded gym wall. Siri, Clem, and I went up to a good spot on the balcony for better camera shots of the “game breaker” bot.<br />
Once the never-ending finals finally ended, the team went out for our team dinner. I've gotta say, that whole lack of daylight savings time thing made lighting interesting. The sun set at about 9:30pm.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday''' – Our car visited the Airforce Museum in Dayton, Ohio on the way home. Even though Carly and I looked all around the gift shop, we were unable to find t-shirts that say, “I survived a day at the Airforce Museum.” Yeah, ok, I kid, I kid. It's nothing personal, we just don't like museums that much. Everyone else had fun, though, and there is this one awesome picture of me, Carly, and Siri about to be hit by a missile. Some of the mannequins were making funny faces, too.<br />
We passed through one of them “C” cities in Ohio on the way home, and I slept through West Virginia. We said goodbye to Siri in Harrisburg, then we arrived in Downingtown an hour or two later. And so ended our trip. It was quite a lot of fun, and I'd very much like to come back next year. Now I'm off to make a 1640 youtube account as per Foster's request and post some videos. The first video will probably be the VEX tournament since Foster asked for that and it requires very little editing. Ta-ta, ya'll.<br />

<div>==Foster==<br />
These are the quick notes from [[User:Foster | Foster's]] trip to IRI in 2010. <br />
<br />
'''''Thursday''''' - My car (Clem, Siri, Rizzo, Carley, Jen) left at exactly 8:30AM according to plan. After a short stop in Bedford we arrived at the Mecca of West Virgina '''Quaker Steak and Lube''' about 1PM. After fueling up on world class wings we headed west on I70. A mere 3 hours later we were at our next milestone '''Fricker's Chicken''' in Vandalia. After eating their world class wings and Chicken Chunks (are you seeing a theme here?) we got back on I70 to head towards the hotel. Wow, is I70 long and straight!<br />
<br />
The trip was filled full of music, bad puns, silly stories etc. The best part was the mini-button factory that did the final assembly of ''I'm xxx on CD'' and the Non-engineering Mentor buttons ''Doing all the work that isn't rocket science'' for Friday.<br />
<br />
It was cool to have technology in the car, we were able to keep up with CD and news of closing the oil well off. I wrote the first part of this post on I70 just outside of Indiana. (Did I say I70 was long?)<br />
<br />
We checked into the hotel and then it was off to '''Dave & Busters''' to deliver some buttons, '''Frickin Chicken Chunks''' to my sister and to meet the mentors. We spent about 2 hours there meeting new people, playing some games for cool prizes and having an end of the day beverage. Siri's buttons were a bigh hit, people were happy to get them. <br />
<br />
I met the wonderful Jane Young, Alan, Andy and Mark of AndyMark fame and spent some time talking to Ed from Rochester. Rizzo met most of the judging staff and swapped some "Well when I was reffing there was this team ..." stories. A pretty good session to close off the first day of IRI.<br />
<br />
'''''Friday''''' Dawn in Indianpolis came early, the final set of people didn't arrive until 2AM, so they had to sleep fast. But, when I got to the breakfast area most of our team was eating breakfast. We got out of the hotel about 7:20 and headed over to the school. <br />
<br />
The school is huge with two huge gyms. One that has an indoor 1/4 mile track, the other that holds 2 full sized basketball courts. <br />
<br />
I was busy working with Jack getting him set up with the VEX and getting the two demo robots ready to go so others could play on the. Jack did a great job of keeping the robot running and an even better job of driving the wheels off of it. It was a tough schedule with three matches in each round and three rounds. The finals were best out of three and Jack ended up with a flawless record of 11-0. He also had the high score of the day at 49 points. <br />
<br />
The big robot also had a pretty good day. We had some amazing partners that we played with and against. We closed out the day in 21st place. Somewhat due to our good seeding, somewhat due to the improvements we made to the robot. <br />
<br />
Dinner was cafeteria style with salad, lasagna, bread, and 5 kinds of dessert. I had a chance to eat with my sister. I don't see her very often and to be honest mostly at robot events. She had been a scorer / queue manager for most of the day (71 matches) so I got to hear about her day. <br />
<br />
The talent show was amazing, the acts were good, but the best part were the comments (written on whiteboard) by the panel of judges. ''Needs more cowbell'' takes on a new meaning!<br />
The best act was a ''spinny lighted ball act set to music'' that was very impressive. The encore with the Tesla music machines was very cool. <br />
<br />
So far IRI has exceeded my idea of what it would be like. I've see great robots in action and I've been able to go up and talk to the builders on how the robot works. People have been super nice helping out where they can. This has got to be one of the best organizied events that I've been to.<br />
<br />
'''''Saturday''''' - We started off the day getting the robot set up for the days matches. We gathered together for the opening ceremony. Afterwards was the long wait to play our next two matches. <br />
<br />
During the wait we watched some amazing matches. We got to see matches that ended with 5 robots hanging, the amazing Team 469 looper in a 6v0 match and the top teams in FRC going nose to nose. We lost our last match but got to see the first ever Breakaway suspension. <br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister and Team ''Exploding Bacon'' I had '''Skyline Chili''' the 5-Way: A 3-Way (spaghetti, covered with chili and topped shredded cheddar cheese) with diced onions and red beans. I ate with the team and learned that when someone comes into the room and goes "oink oink" they all go '''BOOM'''. Very entertaining. The chili was pretty good too. <br />
<br />
At the end of the qualifications we ended up in 31st place. A pretty good showing for the weekend. At noon we went through alliance selection, we were not chosen. <br />
<br />
Next up was the mentor match. We had enough donations in our bucket to have us be the 5th Seed Captain. We did quite well in the first two matches. I was the human player, grabbing balls from the goal for the second match. It was fun, but it's very bright and noisy on the field so it's hard to communicate with the other players. <br />
<br />
In between the second and third games one of our alliance partners found that their robot was broken. Since they were in the real finals they withdrew from the match. We promptly lost the next two matches against the Second Place seed and were out of the tournament. <br />
<br />
Next up was the loooonng finals cycle. There were an amazing number of ties and an even larger collection of rubber matches. Not to mention rubber matches that ended up in ties. All in all we got to see some great competition, but the last match did not finish until 6:15PM<br />
<br />
'''''Sunday''''' - We left the hotel for breakfast at 6:15AM and were headed East at 7AM. With some minor problems due to Dayton road construction we arrived at the [[http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ |National Museum of the US Air Force]]'''. <br />
<br />
Which turned out to be a super place (well if you are into airplanes or rockets) to visit. It consists of three giant hangers that are filled with aircraft. The first exhibits are early gliders and a replica of the first Wright Flyer. From there on it's a chronological tour of US aircraft with some from England, Japan and Russia. At the far end is a tall round building that has exhibits showing off manned near-space and space flights. There is also a collection of rockets. <br />
<br />
After a three hour tour we headed off to lunch at the '''Olive Garden'''. By 1PM we were once again heading east listening to bagpipe music and popular songs from Spain in 1496. We hit a backup in Columbus so we did a quick detour through downtown Columbus. Since it was Sunday there was very little traffic so it wasn't a big deal. <br />
<br />
Dinner was a gas and go at '''Sheetz''', but I got one of my favorites, a slaw dog with bacon and cheese! We pulled into Downingtown at 9:45, and I was tucked into bed by 10:30. <br />
<br />
'''''Overall''''' - It was a great weekend. <br />
* I got to see and talk to my sister, which has been one of the biggest bonus features of FIRST<br />
* Great robots, I got to see the insides and talk to the teams of some very good robots.<br />
* Great people, I met a ton of people that I've wanted to meet face to face<br />
* The Saturday NEMO meeting gave me some good contacts for things we need to do in 2011. <br />
* Food!<br />
* Air Force Museum<br />
* Fun - it was 4 days of non-stop fun<br />
<br />
'''More Cowbell!!!''' and "I have to ref a match!"<br />
<br />
==Siri==<br />
===Thursday===<br />
I was in Foster's van ("it's a rental") on the rides to and from IRI--and what awesome rides they were. He's about covered all the stops along the way, though I must that Quaker Steak is quite an interesting place...albeit less interesting when getting the check takes longer than eliminations at IRI. '''Dave & Busters''' was a lot of fun, though also a little stressful being my first mentor (all of whom were more than twice my age) meet-and-greet. I felt ''very'' (no, ''very'') young, but it was still a great time. The "Hi, I'm...on CD" and non-rocket science NEMO buttons were a good conversation starter too--I think I'll keep that up. I got to meeting Stu (the Head Ref), Carolyn (the NEMO meeting coordinator), Jim (later the IRI 2010 Mentor of the Year, congratulations), and Jane Young, among others, plus toast [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Day_%28Firefly%29 Unification Day] and have some great conversations with Clem, Foster, and Rizzo.<br />
===Friday===<br />
Wow! So that's what "Inspiration Lives Here" means. This place is amazing. We had some problems with the kicker, possessor, and IR sensors, but still ended up doing quite well--ranking 7th at one point and hanging around 15th or so. I was not expecting that, given a field of almost 80 of the best teams in FIRST. And what robots they were! Seeing 469, 1114, 148, 33, and dozens of others up close was amazing. Meeting the teams and working with the drive teams was truly enlightening as well.<br><br />
The drive team is really meshing well, and I think I'm getting pretty well used to this coaching thin. (Or so Carly claims, and she's not really one to placate.) It was a bit of a rough start this year: driver controls are ''way'' more complicated than ever before, but Carly and Sasha are both adapting well. We're starting to read each other like the old days, and it's not so stressful--though the pressure is still completely on.<br><br />
We had some absolutely spectacular matches today! Match 32 was a 1-on-2 virtual shut out. Match 40 was another fantastic defensive game, especially considering 1058's consistency at scoring from the middle zone. (Wish we could do that so well!) In Match 57, we got to show off our striking skills, scoring probably 10 goals in one match in addition to pinning opposing defense so our allies could score.<br><br />
Clem and I also actually got to sit down, inside, for lunch, for a full 10 minutes. I'm not sure that's ever happened before at a major competition. Quite pleasant. Foster and I also ran into a couple of guys from Lockheed Martin. With a little luck, we might even get something out of it. I even got a little bit of a chance to check in on scouting, though I still have some work to really get that department up and running. (Though it's easier at competitions where the match schedule can stay the same...and the DS communication works...yeah, ok, never mind.)<br><br />
This is a ridiculously well organized event. They start queuing us very early, but who am I to complain when they manage to keep 78 teams virtually on schedule for 104 matches without radios between the pits and queuing? But other than that and my request for the DJs to have a "previously played" list (it's going to take me a while to re-enjoy "Don't Stop Believing"), there didn't seem to be a single issue. These guys a top notch, my hat's of to them. The extra events--silent auction, backpacks for 2nd graders, mentor match, talent show, are also superbly executed. This may well be the best competition I've ever attended, on- or off-season.<br><br />
I had dinner and great conversation with Foster and his sister and later Rizzo and Koko Ed. (Well, it was a lot of food.) We did have some mechanical difficulties to fix afterward and ended up missing most of the talent show (minus the Tesla music & string raving and Jim's "singing"). Overall, we're preforming quite admirably. I know I'm admiring it.<br />
===Saturday===<br />
What a day--what an event. Our first match of the day was a solid 13 to 8 victory, but our last one didn't go so well, being on the losing side of 13 to 7. We dropped down to 31st place by the end of qualifications. It's still very respectable, but we didn't make eliminations, especially given that we're strangers in a land of old friend and allies. We did learn a an unquantifiable amount though, and have started making some friends. Next year is another season!<br><br />
I also met Mark (of AndyMark) and Karthik, among several others in addition to those from D&B and dinner. Andy from AndyMark came to find ''me''. I think I'll forever remember this event as "Andy Baker knows my name". I didn't talk to quite everyone I was aiming for, but pretty close. (My networking still leaves something to be desired. Like, say, extraversion. Also, age.) There's always next year, though!<br><br />
The mentor match was quite an experience--and less stressful, since we didn't have to worry so much about breaking things after alliance selection. Foster, Rizzo, Faith, Rita, and Clem did some great human player-ing. Clem, Rizzo, and I got a chance to drive (wow, this thing ''is'' pretty confusing, though it helps that DEWBOT III was along the same lines and much less cooperative), and Clem and I did some possessorizing. My old drive experience has been great for my coaching, but it's always good to have a refresher when I can. And refreshed I am! Though we bought (via auction) our way into the 5th alliance, we only managed to make the semifinals--but Clem got a great hat out of it. I did manage to hurt my chest pretty badly lifting the robot though, so it hurts to laugh--a real danger when spending the weekend and a ''long'' car ride with Clem, Foster, Rizzo, Jen, and Carly. Overall, a fun (and at least marginally educational time) was had by all.<br><br />
The award ceremonies were quite well done. A little disappointing in the morning (sorry to Jen), but Sasha, Andrew, and I have something up our sleeves for Duel on the Delaware. The highlight of the afternoon ceremony (for us) was Jack accepting his VEX award. Congrats on the win and your undefeated record, Jack! And aren't we glad at least some of us (including him) stayed at the school for lunch. Also thanks to Foster's sister for alerting us in time to get a photo!<br><br />
The eliminations were amazing! Also, amazingly long (really? five matches in SF2?) Entirely worth it though, especially once Clem, Foster, Jen (plus Rizzo during the numerous cool-down breaks and timeouts) found the prefect spot on the upper balcony. I've never seen so many teams so closely matched, so many amazingly engineering robots (or famous numbers) on one field, or such fantastic driving at any time in my FIRST career. In fact, I don't think I've seen such inspiring work in all of my FIRST experience combined. Watching the coaches was especially interesting, and I picked up a some good pointers. Thanks to the rest of the pit crew that packed the trailer after they got back from lunch, giving both Clem and I an unprecedented chance to actually ''watch'' so many matches. 23 total: I don't think I've watched that many from the stands at any of the other major competitions combined.<br><br />
:After many more finals rounds that originally expected (I thought I was going to miss class Tuesday too), the entire team headed to an all-you-care-to-eat Chinese buffet for dinner. Good food and lots of laughter (and well worth the chest pain). After dinner, Foster, Clem, Rizzo and I dropped Jen and Carly off and went out to Ruby Tuesday's. (I'm told the beer is better. Yeesh, it's hard to be a mentor under 21.) Another Unification Day toast and some good serious and not-so-serious conversation later, we called it a night.<br />
===Sunday===<br />
An early start at 6AM and were were off to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. ''Awesome'' museum! (ok, so many I'm biased.) It's also the headquarters for the Air Force Institute of Technology--quite possibly where I'll be doing my graduate degree in a few years. After the museum we headed for lunch at Olive Garden and then hit the road to drop me off in Harrisburg. The ride was filled with silly jokes (my how we've added to our lexicon), fun stories, and some discussion of our upcoming to do list. Also, and some very interesting music. (Not much of it in English, but I think I've got a think for '90s Spanish tunes now. The 1490s, that is.) After some GPS and traffic versus arrival time confusion, I (as I expected) missed the nightly bus, but got a ride up to Penn State anyway to still arrive Sunday night. Thus I only missed 2 classes (Thursday and Friday)--well worth it, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
==Jen==<br />
'''Thursday''' – Gosh, what a fun trip this was! This replaces Finger Lakes as my longest car ride I've ever been on. The car ride was filled with music, button-making, and, for Carly and me, playing Sims 2 Pets. We got some interesting phrases out of that. “This dog's name is Daisy,” *awkward silence* “it has worms.” I was told that I was a good source of entertainment for everyone else in the car.<br />
We stopped at a restaurant in West Virginia and met this awesome waiter named Brandon. If it wasn't for Foster mentioning this to me ahead of time, I probably would have been incredibly confused about the fact that West Virginia is adjacent to Pennsylvania. I should visit “Geographyland” more often. Visits to “Vocabularyland” would probably be helpful too, considering that I had to ask what “lexicon” meant.<br />
Anyway, we also drove through Ohio and saw some cool stuff like farms, buildings, and some kind of an indoor water park or something. Yes it sounds weird, but it was a building with some water slides leading out of it then back in to another part of the building. Look at the photo gallery to figure out what I'm talking about. Finally, we got to the hotel at a reasonable time – 8 or 9pm if my memory serves right. Carly and I went to the fitness center and watched Comedy Central before bedtime.<br />
<br />
'''Friday''' – My day started off well when I made a friend in a rather strange way. Though that's not a surprise. As Carly says, I always randomly make friends at robotics competitions. As the elevator door opened on the second floor, Nicole and a boy I did not recognize stepped out of the elevator, thinking it was the floor with the lobby. (They didn't catch that it was stopping on my floor for me to get on before reaching their destination). I pointed this out to them, and as they walked back into the elevator I noticed that the boy was wearing a shirt that said “MORE Robotics” on it. “Hey, you're on a robotics team!” I said, pointing out the obvious. From there, I ran into this boy, whose name is Stefan, about a million times during the trip, both in the hotel and at the competition. On saturday night, he even knocked on our door by accident, and as it turns out he was looking for his friend in the room next to us.<br />
We headed over to the competition, which I'm glad to say was only seven minutes away from the hotel. After unloading the trailer and carrying stuff to the pit, Carly and I followed Nicole to other gym to find a place in the stands. Carly said, “Wow, this is 'lose your stuff city',” when we noticed that it was easy to drop stuff through big gaps in the bleachers. Luckily, we didn't drop things too often and nothing fragile (safety glasses, pompoms, and a water bottle, which fell about ten times in five minutes. The worst was Alex's phone, but it survived. It could have been worse, considering we had laptops and cameras up there).<br />
Unfortunately, being in the stands for most of the time as the “head cheerleader” (hehe, thank you to whoever gave me that title on [[DEWBOT VI Indiana Robotics Invitational]]) I was one of the first to notice how repetitive the music was. It wasn't terrible music... just... the same stuff over and over, both days. Anyway, Friday was the VEX tournament, which I watched and videotaped some of. It was fun to show my support and watch Jack bring home the gold.<br />
I moved straight from watching VEX to match scouting. When a team from Georgia decided last minute that they couldn't make it, the entire match schedule had to be re-done, and we couldn't get a head start on scouting. In fact, we actually fell behind on it. During the first five matches, I dashed back and forth from the pit to the stands asking Siri what teams to track during each match because she was still in the middle of making that list based on the updated match schedule. Come the sixth match, scouting became easier when we had the full list of future allies and opponents at hand.<br />
I'm really proud of our performance during the matches. There were some wicked teams out there... teams who have won regionals, some even championships, and we still managed to keep up a pretty good seeding score. At one point we were 7th, but we ended the day with 21st.<br />
It was nice seeing Foster's sister again. I talked to her for a bit, and I may even be involved with her team while I'm away at college because they're not far from RIT. At the very least, I'll go to their off-season event, Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus, in October.<br />
I was under the impression that all the teams would go to dinner at the same time, after the matches, and all eat together and socialize. (I'm really into the team socials, dontcha know?) Well, instead it was more like... go eat whenever you don't have a match to prepare for or play or watch... or ref. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.) But then the talent show right after dinner was phenomenal, which completely makes up for it. The acts ranged from musical performances to glowy spinny things with balls on strings. I enjoyed the skits. There was a rendition of “Who's on first?” and a skit involving a time machine. My favorite one was the volunteers' skit starring two girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha. (I actually saw them getting into costume before the talent show but didn't recognize them as the field reset volunteers who I'd seen plenty of times during the day). They had some technical difficulties (“Track 20!” “You're making Gaga angry!”), but they eventually got it working. Gaga sang about how she wrote a bad program (parody of “Bad Romance”), then a referee (cosplaying as Rizzo?) called her out on not wearing safety glasses, having inappropriate footwear, and standing on a chair.<br />
That night at the hotel, I talked to a group of students from team 111 and even met MC Dan Greene's daughter.<br />
<br />
'''Saturday''' – After seeing our hotel buddies, teams 1714 and 111, at breakfast, we headed over to the competition again. Sadly, neither Clem nor Siri won mentor of the year, and I didn't win a scholarship. We still looked forward to seeing Jack get his VEX award later that day. And something else that made my day was getting to talk to the girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha in the talent show!<br />
I took a peek at the silent auction. As a joke, they had the Woodie Flowers award sitting there. Some of the fake bids that people placed were hilarious. “Over $9000,” “Priceless,” and “My dad” were some of the offers.<br />
We played two more matches and ended up in the 31st seed. Amongst all the previous IRI winners, regional winners, championship division winners, it was some pretty tough competition, so we didn't get picked for an alliance. However, we went on to the mentor matches directly after alliance selection. We did really well until one of the alliance members broke down.<br />
After the mentor matches, Jack got his award for the VEX tournament. Then, we watched the elimination rounds. They were fun to watch, even if they did drag on and on with so many ties. When they finally played a good dance song, a few of us ran down to the side of the field for the Cha-Cha Slide. There was a boy from the PVC Pirates who cracked me up because when there wasn't enough room to take “five hops this time,” he purposefully crashed face-first into the padded gym wall. Siri, Clem, and I went up to a good spot on the balcony for better camera shots of the “game breaker” bot.<br />
Once the never-ending finals finally ended, the team went out for our team dinner. I've gotta say, that whole lack of daylight savings time thing made lighting interesting. The sun set at about 9:30pm.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday''' – Our car visited the Airforce Museum in Dayton, Ohio on the way home. Even though Carly and I looked all around the gift shop, we were unable to find t-shirts that say, “I survived a day at the Airforce Museum.” Yeah, ok, I kid, I kid. It's nothing personal, we just don't like museums that much. Everyone else had fun, though, and there is this one awesome picture of me, Carly, and Siri about to be hit by a missile. Some of the mannequins were making funny faces, too.<br />
We passed through one of them “C” cities in Ohio on the way home, and I slept through West Virginia. We said goodbye to Siri in Harrisburg, then we arrived in Downingtown an hour or two later. And so ended our trip. It was quite a lot of fun, and I'd very much like to come back next year. Now I'm off to make a 1640 youtube account as per Foster's request and post some videos. The first video will probably be the VEX tournament since Foster asked for that and it requires very little editing. Ta-ta, ya'll.<br />

These are the quick notes from [[User:Foster | Foster's]] trip to IRI in 2010. <br />
<br />
'''''Thursday''''' - My car (Clem, Siri, Rizzo, Carley, Jen) left at exactly 8:30AM according to plan. After a short stop in Bedford we arrived at the Mecca of West Virgina '''Quaker Steak and Lube''' about 1PM. After fueling up on world class wings we headed west on I70. A mere 3 hours later we were at our next milestone '''Fricker's Chicken''' in Vandalia. After eating their world class wings and Chicken Chunks (are you seeing a theme here?) we got back on I70 to head towards the hotel. Wow, is I70 long and straight!<br />
<br />
The trip was filled full of music, bad puns, silly stories etc. The best part was the mini-button factory that did the final assembly of ''I'm xxx on CD'' and the Non-engineering Mentor buttons ''Doing all the work that isn't rocket science'' for Friday.<br />
<br />
It was cool to have technology in the car, we were able to keep up with CD and news of closing the oil well off. I wrote the first part of this post on I70 just outside of Indiana. (Did I say I70 was long?)<br />
<br />
We checked into the hotel and then it was off to '''Dave & Busters''' to deliver some buttons, '''Frickin Chicken Chunks''' to my sister and to meet the mentors. We spent about 2 hours there meeting new people, playing some games for cool prizes and having an end of the day beverage. Siri's buttons were a bigh hit, people were happy to get them. <br />
<br />
I met the wonderful Jane Young, Alan, Andy and Mark of AndyMark fame and spent some time talking to Ed from Rochester. Rizzo met most of the judging staff and swapped some "Well when I was reffing there was this team ..." stories. A pretty good session to close off the first day of IRI.<br />
<br />
'''''Friday''''' Dawn in Indianpolis came early, the final set of people didn't arrive until 2AM, so they had to sleep fast. But, when I got to the breakfast area most of our team was eating breakfast. We got out of the hotel about 7:20 and headed over to the school. <br />
<br />
The school is huge with two huge gyms. One that has an indoor 1/4 mile track, the other that holds 2 full sized basketball courts. <br />
<br />
I was busy working with Jack getting him set up with the VEX and getting the two demo robots ready to go so others could play on the. Jack did a great job of keeping the robot running and an even better job of driving the wheels off of it. It was a tough schedule with three matches in each round and three rounds. The finals were best out of three and Jack ended up with a flawless record of 11-0. He also had the high score of the day at 49 points. <br />
<br />
The big robot also had a pretty good day. We had some amazing partners that we played with and against. We closed out the day in 21st place. Somewhat due to our good seeding, somewhat due to the improvements we made to the robot. <br />
<br />
Dinner was cafeteria style with salad, lasagna, bread, and 5 kinds of dessert. I had a chance to eat with my sister. I don't see her very often and to be honest mostly at robot events. She had been a scorer / queue manager for most of the day (71 matches) so I got to hear about her day. <br />
<br />
The talent show was amazing, the acts were good, but the best part were the comments (written on whiteboard) by the panel of judges. ''Needs more cowbell'' takes on a new meaning!<br />
The best act was a ''spinny lighted ball act set to music'' that was very impressive. The encore with the Tesla music machines was very cool. <br />
<br />
So far IRI has exceeded my idea of what it would be like. I've see great robots in action and I've been able to go up and talk to the builders on how the robot works. People have been super nice helping out where they can. This has got to be one of the best organizied events that I've been to.<br />
<br />
'''''Saturday''''' - We started off the day getting the robot set up for the days matches. We gathered together for the opening ceremony. Afterwards was the long wait to play our next two matches. <br />
<br />
During the wait we watched some amazing matches. We got to see matches that ended with 5 robots hanging, the amazing Team 469 looper in a 6v0 match and the top teams in FRC going nose to nose. We lost our last match but got to see the first ever Breakaway suspension. <br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister and Team ''Exploding Bacon'' I had '''Skyline Chili''' the 5-Way: A 3-Way (spaghetti, covered with chili and topped shredded cheddar cheese) with diced onions and red beans. I ate with the team and learned that when someone comes into the room and goes "oink oink" they all go '''BOOM'''. Very entertaining. The chili was pretty good too. <br />
<br />
At the end of the qualifications we ended up in 31st place. A pretty good showing for the weekend. At noon we went through alliance selection, we were not chosen. <br />
<br />
Next up was the mentor match. We had enough donations in our bucket to have us be the 5th Seed Captain. We did quite well in the first two matches. I was the human player, grabbing balls from the goal for the second match. It was fun, but it's very bright and noisy on the field so it's hard to communicate with the other players. <br />
<br />
In between the second and third games one of our alliance partners found that their robot was broken. Since they were in the real finals they withdrew from the match. We promptly lost the next two matches against the Second Place seed and were out of the tournament. <br />
<br />
Next up was the loooonng finals cycle. There were an amazing number of ties and an even larger collection of rubber matches. Not to mention rubber matches that ended up in ties. All in all we got to see some great competition, but the last match did not finish until 6:15PM<br />
<br />
'''''Sunday''''' - We left the hotel for breakfast at 6:15AM and were headed East at 7AM. With some minor problems due to Dayton road construction we arrived at the [[http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ |National Museum of the US Air Force]]'''. <br />
<br />
Which turned out to be a super place (well if you are into airplanes or rockets) to visit. It consists of three giant hangers that are filled with aircraft. The first exhibits are early gliders and a replica of the first Wright Flyer. From there on it's a chronological tour of US aircraft with some from England, Japan and Russia. At the far end is a tall round building that has exhibits showing off manned near-space and space flights. There is also a collection of rockets. <br />
<br />
After a three hour tour we headed off to lunch at the '''Olive Garden'''. By 1PM we were once again heading east listening to bagpipe music and popular songs from Spain in 1496. We hit a backup in Columbus so we did a quick detour through downtown Columbus. Since it was Sunday there was very little traffic so it wasn't a big deal. <br />
<br />
Dinner was a gas and go at '''Sheetz''', but I got one of my favorites, a slaw dog with bacon and cheese! We pulled into Downingtown at 9:45, and I was tucked into bed by 10:30. <br />
<br />
'''''Overall''''' - It was a great weekend. <br />
* I got to see and talk to my sister, which has been one of the biggest bonus features of FIRST<br />
* Great robots, I got to see the insides and talk to the teams of some very good robots.<br />
* Great people, I met a ton of people that I've wanted to meet face to face<br />
* The Saturday NEMO meeting gave me some good contacts for things we need to do in 2011. <br />
* Food!<br />
* Air Force Museum<br />
* Fun - it was 4 days of non-stop fun<br />
<br />
'''More Cowbell!!!''' and "I have to ref a match!"<br />

===Thursday===<br />
I was in Foster's van ("it's a rental") on the rides to and from IRI--and what awesome rides they were. He's about covered all the stops along the way, though I must that Quaker Steak is quite an interesting place...albeit less interesting when getting the check takes longer than eliminations at IRI. '''Dave & Busters''' was a lot of fun, though also a little stressful being my first mentor (all of whom were more than twice my age) meet-and-greet. I felt ''very'' (no, ''very'') young, but it was still a great time. The "Hi, I'm...on CD" and non-rocket science NEMO buttons were a good conversation starter too--I think I'll keep that up. I got to meeting Stu (the Head Ref), Carolyn (the NEMO meeting coordinator), Jim (later the IRI 2010 Mentor of the Year, congratulations), and Jane Young, among others, plus toast [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_Day_%28Firefly%29 Unification Day] and have some great conversations with Clem, Foster, and Rizzo.<br />
===Friday===<br />
Wow! So that's what "Inspiration Lives Here" means. This place is amazing. We had some problems with the kicker, possessor, and IR sensors, but still ended up doing quite well--ranking 7th at one point and hanging around 15th or so. I was not expecting that, given a field of almost 80 of the best teams in FIRST. And what robots they were! Seeing 469, 1114, 148, 33, and dozens of others up close was amazing. Meeting the teams and working with the drive teams was truly enlightening as well.<br><br />
The drive team is really meshing well, and I think I'm getting pretty well used to this coaching thin. (Or so Carly claims, and she's not really one to placate.) It was a bit of a rough start this year: driver controls are ''way'' more complicated than ever before, but Carly and Sasha are both adapting well. We're starting to read each other like the old days, and it's not so stressful--though the pressure is still completely on.<br><br />
We had some absolutely spectacular matches today! Match 32 was a 1-on-2 virtual shut out. Match 40 was another fantastic defensive game, especially considering 1058's consistency at scoring from the middle zone. (Wish we could do that so well!) In Match 57, we got to show off our striking skills, scoring probably 10 goals in one match in addition to pinning opposing defense so our allies could score.<br><br />
Clem and I also actually got to sit down, inside, for lunch, for a full 10 minutes. I'm not sure that's ever happened before at a major competition. Quite pleasant. Foster and I also ran into a couple of guys from Lockheed Martin. With a little luck, we might even get something out of it. I even got a little bit of a chance to check in on scouting, though I still have some work to really get that department up and running. (Though it's easier at competitions where the match schedule can stay the same...and the DS communication works...yeah, ok, never mind.)<br><br />
This is a ridiculously well organized event. They start queuing us very early, but who am I to complain when they manage to keep 78 teams virtually on schedule for 104 matches without radios between the pits and queuing? But other than that and my request for the DJs to have a "previously played" list (it's going to take me a while to re-enjoy "Don't Stop Believing"), there didn't seem to be a single issue. These guys a top notch, my hat's of to them. The extra events--silent auction, backpacks for 2nd graders, mentor match, talent show, are also superbly executed. This may well be the best competition I've ever attended, on- or off-season.<br><br />
I had dinner and great conversation with Foster and his sister and later Rizzo and Koko Ed. (Well, it was a lot of food.) We did have some mechanical difficulties to fix afterward and ended up missing most of the talent show (minus the Tesla music & string raving and Jim's "singing"). Overall, we're preforming quite admirably. I know I'm admiring it.<br />
===Saturday===<br />
What a day--what an event. Our first match of the day was a solid 13 to 8 victory, but our last one didn't go so well, being on the losing side of 13 to 7. We dropped down to 31st place by the end of qualifications. It's still very respectable, but we didn't make eliminations, especially given that we're strangers in a land of old friend and allies. We did learn a an unquantifiable amount though, and have started making some friends. Next year is another season!<br><br />
I also met Mark (of AndyMark) and Karthik, among several others in addition to those from D&B and dinner. Andy from AndyMark came to find ''me''. I think I'll forever remember this event as "Andy Baker knows my name". I didn't talk to quite everyone I was aiming for, but pretty close. (My networking still leaves something to be desired. Like, say, extraversion. Also, age.) There's always next year, though!<br><br />
The mentor match was quite an experience--and less stressful, since we didn't have to worry so much about breaking things after alliance selection. Foster, Rizzo, Faith, Rita, and Clem did some great human player-ing. Clem, Rizzo, and I got a chance to drive (wow, this thing ''is'' pretty confusing, though it helps that DEWBOT III was along the same lines and much less cooperative), and Clem and I did some possessorizing. My old drive experience has been great for my coaching, but it's always good to have a refresher when I can. And refreshed I am! Though we bought (via auction) our way into the 5th alliance, we only managed to make the semifinals--but Clem got a great hat out of it. I did manage to hurt my chest pretty badly lifting the robot though, so it hurts to laugh--a real danger when spending the weekend and a ''long'' car ride with Clem, Foster, Rizzo, Jen, and Carly. Overall, a fun (and at least marginally educational time) was had by all.<br><br />
The award ceremonies were quite well done. A little disappointing in the morning (sorry to Jen), but Sasha, Andrew, and I have something up our sleeves for Duel on the Delaware. The highlight of the afternoon ceremony (for us) was Jack accepting his VEX award. Congrats on the win and your undefeated record, Jack! And aren't we glad at least some of us (including him) stayed at the school for lunch. Also thanks to Foster's sister for alerting us in time to get a photo!<br><br />
The eliminations were amazing! Also, amazingly long (really? five matches in SF2?) Entirely worth it though, especially once Clem, Foster, Jen (plus Rizzo during the numerous cool-down breaks and timeouts) found the prefect spot on the upper balcony. I've never seen so many teams so closely matched, so many amazingly engineering robots (or famous numbers) on one field, or such fantastic driving at any time in my FIRST career. In fact, I don't think I've seen such inspiring work in all of my FIRST experience combined. Watching the coaches was especially interesting, and I picked up a some good pointers. Thanks to the rest of the pit crew that packed the trailer after they got back from lunch, giving both Clem and I an unprecedented chance to actually ''watch'' so many matches. 23 total: I don't think I've watched that many from the stands at any of the other major competitions combined.<br><br />
:After many more finals rounds that originally expected (I thought I was going to miss class Tuesday too), the entire team headed to an all-you-care-to-eat Chinese buffet for dinner. Good food and lots of laughter (and well worth the chest pain). After dinner, Foster, Clem, Rizzo and I dropped Jen and Carly off and went out to Ruby Tuesday's. (I'm told the beer is better. Yeesh, it's hard to be a mentor under 21.) Another Unification Day toast and some good serious and not-so-serious conversation later, we called it a night.<br />
===Sunday===<br />
An early start at 6AM and were were off to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. ''Awesome'' museum! (ok, so many I'm biased.) It's also the headquarters for the Air Force Institute of Technology--quite possibly where I'll be doing my graduate degree in a few years. After the museum we headed for lunch at Olive Garden and then hit the road to drop me off in Harrisburg. The ride was filled with silly jokes (my how we've added to our lexicon), fun stories, and some discussion of our upcoming to do list. Also, and some very interesting music. (Not much of it in English, but I think I've got a think for '90s Spanish tunes now. The 1490s, that is.) After some GPS and traffic versus arrival time confusion, I (as I expected) missed the nightly bus, but got a ride up to Penn State anyway to still arrive Sunday night. Thus I only missed 2 classes (Thursday and Friday)--well worth it, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
==Jen==<br />
===Thursday=== – Gosh, what a fun trip this was! This replaces Finger Lakes as my longest car ride I've ever been on. The car ride was filled with music, button-making, and, for Carly and me, playing Sims 2 Pets. We got some interesting phrases out of that. “This dog's name is Daisy,” *awkward silence* “it has worms.” I was told that I was a good source of entertainment for everyone else in the car.<br />
We stopped at a restaurant in West Virginia and met this awesome waiter named Brandon. If it wasn't for Foster mentioning this to me ahead of time, I probably would have been incredibly confused about the fact that West Virginia is adjacent to Pennsylvania. I should visit “Geographyland” more often. Visits to “Vocabularyland” would probably be helpful too, considering that I had to ask what “lexicon” meant.<br />
Anyway, we also drove through Ohio and saw some cool stuff like farms, buildings, and some kind of an indoor water park or something. Yes it sounds weird, but it was a building with some water slides leading out of it then back in to another part of the building. Look at the photo gallery to figure out what I'm talking about. Finally, we got to the hotel at a reasonable time – 8 or 9pm if my memory serves right. Carly and I went to the fitness center and watched Comedy Central before bedtime.<br />
<br />
===Friday=== – My day started off well when I made a friend in a rather strange way. Though that's not a surprise. As Carly says, I always randomly make friends at robotics competitions. As the elevator door opened on the second floor, Nicole and a boy I did not recognize stepped out of the elevator, thinking it was the floor with the lobby. (They didn't catch that it was stopping on my floor for me to get on before reaching their destination). I pointed this out to them, and as they walked back into the elevator I noticed that the boy was wearing a shirt that said “MORE Robotics” on it. “Hey, you're on a robotics team!” I said, pointing out the obvious. From there, I ran into this boy, whose name is Stefan, about a million times during the trip, both in the hotel and at the competition. On saturday night, he even knocked on our door by accident, and as it turns out he was looking for his friend in the room next to us.<br />
We headed over to the competition, which I'm glad to say was only seven minutes away from the hotel. After unloading the trailer and carrying stuff to the pit, Carly and I followed Nicole to other gym to find a place in the stands. Carly said, “Wow, this is 'lose your stuff city',” when we noticed that it was easy to drop stuff through big gaps in the bleachers. Luckily, we didn't drop things too often and nothing fragile (safety glasses, pompoms, and a water bottle, which fell about ten times in five minutes. The worst was Alex's phone, but it survived. It could have been worse, considering we had laptops and cameras up there).<br />
Unfortunately, being in the stands for most of the time as the “head cheerleader” (hehe, thank you to whoever gave me that title on [[DEWBOT VI Indiana Robotics Invitational]]) I was one of the first to notice how repetitive the music was. It wasn't terrible music... just... the same stuff over and over, both days. Anyway, Friday was the VEX tournament, which I watched and videotaped some of. It was fun to show my support and watch Jack bring home the gold.<br />
I moved straight from watching VEX to match scouting. When a team from Georgia decided last minute that they couldn't make it, the entire match schedule had to be re-done, and we couldn't get a head start on scouting. In fact, we actually fell behind on it. During the first five matches, I dashed back and forth from the pit to the stands asking Siri what teams to track during each match because she was still in the middle of making that list based on the updated match schedule. Come the sixth match, scouting became easier when we had the full list of future allies and opponents at hand.<br />
I'm really proud of our performance during the matches. There were some wicked teams out there... teams who have won regionals, some even championships, and we still managed to keep up a pretty good seeding score. At one point we were 7th, but we ended the day with 21st.<br />
It was nice seeing Foster's sister again. I talked to her for a bit, and I may even be involved with her team while I'm away at college because they're not far from RIT. At the very least, I'll go to their off-season event, Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus, in October.<br />
I was under the impression that all the teams would go to dinner at the same time, after the matches, and all eat together and socialize. (I'm really into the team socials, dontcha know?) Well, instead it was more like... go eat whenever you don't have a match to prepare for or play or watch... or ref. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.) But then the talent show right after dinner was phenomenal, which completely makes up for it. The acts ranged from musical performances to glowy spinny things with balls on strings. I enjoyed the skits. There was a rendition of “Who's on first?” and a skit involving a time machine. My favorite one was the volunteers' skit starring two girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha. (I actually saw them getting into costume before the talent show but didn't recognize them as the field reset volunteers who I'd seen plenty of times during the day). They had some technical difficulties (“Track 20!” “You're making Gaga angry!”), but they eventually got it working. Gaga sang about how she wrote a bad program (parody of “Bad Romance”), then a referee (cosplaying as Rizzo?) called her out on not wearing safety glasses, having inappropriate footwear, and standing on a chair.<br />
That night at the hotel, I talked to a group of students from team 111 and even met MC Dan Greene's daughter.<br />
<br />
===Saturday=== – After seeing our hotel buddies, teams 1714 and 111, at breakfast, we headed over to the competition again. Sadly, neither Clem nor Siri won mentor of the year, and I didn't win a scholarship. We still looked forward to seeing Jack get his VEX award later that day. And something else that made my day was getting to talk to the girls who played Lady Gaga and Kesha in the talent show!<br />
I took a peek at the silent auction. As a joke, they had the Woodie Flowers award sitting there. Some of the fake bids that people placed were hilarious. “Over $9000,” “Priceless,” and “My dad” were some of the offers.<br />
We played two more matches and ended up in the 31st seed. Amongst all the previous IRI winners, regional winners, championship division winners, it was some pretty tough competition, so we didn't get picked for an alliance. However, we went on to the mentor matches directly after alliance selection. We did really well until one of the alliance members broke down.<br />
After the mentor matches, Jack got his award for the VEX tournament. Then, we watched the elimination rounds. They were fun to watch, even if they did drag on and on with so many ties. When they finally played a good dance song, a few of us ran down to the side of the field for the Cha-Cha Slide. There was a boy from the PVC Pirates who cracked me up because when there wasn't enough room to take “five hops this time,” he purposefully crashed face-first into the padded gym wall. Siri, Clem, and I went up to a good spot on the balcony for better camera shots of the “game breaker” bot.<br />
Once the never-ending finals finally ended, the team went out for our team dinner. I've gotta say, that whole lack of daylight savings time thing made lighting interesting. The sun set at about 9:30pm.<br />
<br />
===Sunday=== – Our car visited the Airforce Museum in Dayton, Ohio on the way home. Even though Carly and I looked all around the gift shop, we were unable to find t-shirts that say, “I survived a day at the Airforce Museum.” Yeah, ok, I kid, I kid. It's nothing personal, we just don't like museums that much. Everyone else had fun, though, and there is this one awesome picture of me, Carly, and Siri about to be hit by a missile. Some of the mannequins were making funny faces, too.<br />
We passed through one of them “C” cities in Ohio on the way home, and I slept through West Virginia. We said goodbye to Siri in Harrisburg, then we arrived in Downingtown an hour or two later. And so ended our trip. It was quite a lot of fun, and I'd very much like to come back next year. Now I'm off to make a 1640 youtube account as per Foster's request and post some videos. The first video will probably be the VEX tournament since Foster asked for that and it requires very little editing. Ta-ta, ya'll.<br />

'Sup? I'm a new member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I'm a student who doesn't actually go to either of the Downingtown high schools. Instead, I'm from Conestoga. And suddenly my username makes sense.<br />
<br />
Stoga has a "robotics club" (which I was in as a junior) where they play around with Lego robots (not for competition), but they don't have an FRC team, nor a VEX team. I'm very happy that team 1640, team Sab-BOT-age, accepts me as one of their own. :)<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college next year.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />

<hr />
<div>15-May-2010 at Montgomery High School in Skillman, NJ. This is our third year at Monty Madness (see DEWBOT [[DEWBOT IV Monty Madness | IV]] and [[DEWBOT V Monty Madness | V]]'s competitions). Check out the [http://www.montymadness.org/index.html event website].<br />
<br />
Sab-BOT-age made a strong showing against a very competitive field, finishing 10th seed out of 42 teams.<br />
<br />
Did I already mention that this was a competitive field? See Siri Maley's [[media:MontyMadness2010_Scouting_Database.xls | Scouting Database]] for the details.<br />
<br />
We were the first selection of team 365 (''MOE''), captain of the 6th alliance. Team 2344 (''Saunders Droid Factory'') completed our alliance. Alas, we were defeated in the quarterfinals by the 3rd alliance (103 ''Cybersonics'', 341 ''Miss Daisy'' and 75 ''RoboRaiders'').<br />
<br />
A tough competition. We played well. <br />
<br />
==Matches==<br />
We managed 3 wins and 2 losses in the qualifying matches, ending 10th of 42 teams. <br />
<br />

==Problems Encountered==<br />
:* During the first quarterfinal match, our battery (#1) failed, even though the charger (the newest fast-charger) indicated a full charge. This battery had been used for our first qualifying match (Q3), without problems. I suspect the charger; although the charging cycle and time for this battery appeared normal, the subsequent battery put on this charger failed to charge (the charger did not see it). This battery did charge on an old charger. This failure was not due to battery inattention.<br />
:* Individual wheel steering occasionally locked-up, with affected wheels ending up oriented in unpredictable directions and uncoordinated with each other. Occurred in a number of matches. Cause unknown. Steering motors were checked immediately afterwards and were not hot. Battery voltage okay. We had some calibration problems which may or may not have been related (but could not have caused all of the issues observed). Issues occurred in both teleop and autonomous. (Less drastically/often in the latter, though that may simply be a product of its shorter duration and fewer actions.)<br />
:* The IR sensor does not seem reliable. Mid competition, Monty Madness began using bright, low field lights which could have been interfering with the sensor. Prior to their introduction, the autonomous use of the IR sensor was relatively consistent (scoring/clearing 1 if not 2 balls). After their introduction, the results became much more sporadic, with many false-positive kicks. This may require at-event threshold calibration and virtually necessitates a dashboard readout of the voltage. At no point during the competition was sensor data a useful indicator in teleop mode. (This is potentially very helpful given the blind spots created by the bumps). <br />
:* Drivers/operators report that the possessor was even less useful than usual. Cause is unknown, though it may be a speed setting issue and is likely worth investigating carefully in driving practice.<br />
:* We ''completely'' eroded the (rear right) Deaver tread during the 1st quarterfinal (probably a casualty of the battery problem). Did not replace (no time). This caused steering issues in the quarterfinals, in combination with Problems 1, 2 & 6.<br />
:* The drive team discovered a loose wheel axle collar (front left) while in queue before the first quarter-final match. This is on the pit checklist, and apparently was not checked. With little time, the set screw appeared to sheared and immovable, so a quick-fix of several small wire tie "spacers" was implemented. The wheel was not loose when DEWBOT went on the field, and was only slightly loose by the end of QF1. Another wire tie was added for QF2 and the wheel mounting remained tight throughout.<br />
:* Had to replace the kicker elastics. This caused no problem in competition.<br />
<br />
==Post-Mortem==<br />
<br />
Overall, Sab-BOT-age and DEWBOT VI did a great job at Monty Madness. This competition is packed with many superlative FRC teams from the area (being decidedly NJ-centric). When I looked at the list of attending teams, I was decidedly concerned over our prospects.<br />
<br />
Our good performance, however, does not leave us with nothing to learn.<br />
<br />
The battery failure during the 1st quarterfinal occurred in spite of careful battery management. The timing of this failure could have hardly been worse. We need to isolate the cause of this failure and correct this. <br />
<br />
Likewise, we need to understand and correct the erratic drive-train behavior. This seems to be a new problem (not the old Pivot 4 story).<br />
<br />
Autonomous performance was significantly better than in past competitions ''(We scored! On purpose!)'', but we still have miles to go before we sleep. I would like us to explore replacing the IR sensor with a LED and shielded photodetector on opposite Ball Dam Gussets. When a ball (or anything, except the kicker--i.e. kicker must be latched to validate reading) breaks the beam, kick (in autonomous). There are also valuable teleop benefits to a sensor detecting a ball in position (there are a lot of places on the field that the driver cannot see because of the bumps, and balls do tend to accumulate there).<br />
<br />
Driver controls and driver intuition do not seem to be aligned. I've been informed that I need to buy an X-Box 360 for the driver to solve this problem. Am open to alternative solutions as well.<br />
<br />
The Deaver tread attachment system is great, but we need pre-punched treads for a fast change (but even this would not have been fast enough between the two quarterfinals). We should change all wheels over before (BR)².<br />
<br />
Our [[DEWBOT VI Mechanical#Possessor | ''possessor'']] remains ineffective. This seriously limits our ability to score. It's time to do something new.<br />
<br />
The new battery box survived Monty Madness. A cursory examination of the old box made it abundantly clear that it would have failed in competition had we not replaced it. As anticipated, the crack originated at a sharp interior corner from the scroll saw cut.<br />
<br />
Douglas did a great job a Pit Captain, but some purposeful pit crew training (and/or clear pit mentor) is needed.<br />
<br />
Post-competition meetings were held and the Pit Process followed where time allowed (some competitions were too close together to allow this luxury). Both processes were both posted in the pit (and amended as needed).<br />
<br />
'''An Observation:''' Robots hang, but this is not so common. Many robots which are able hang do not. My sense is that the math just doesn't work. If you can score (or defend), it is more effective to spend the 20 sec or so necessary to hang in scoring or defending. I think we made the correct strategic decision when we opted not to hang. In two (2) Regionals and (2) off-season events, I have yet to see a suspended robot. Many robots that attempt to hang fail to succeed.<br />

<hr />
<div>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. <br />
<br />
1640 placed 8th seed out of 19 teams and was selected by Team 2753 (Team Overdrive) for the 3rd Alliance (together with Team 339 - Kilroy). We defeated the 6th alliance in two games in the Quarter-Finals, but were ourselves defeated by the 1st Alliance (Teams 25 - Raider Robotix, 341 - Miss Daisy & 1989 - Viking) in the Semi-Finals.<br />
<br />
Team Overdrive (2753) also selected Sab-BOT-age (1640) as an alliance partner last year at [[DEWBOT V PARC XII | PARC XII]], where our alliance went on to become Champions.<br />
<br />
Team 1640 received the Gracious Professionalism Award.<br />
<br />
1640 hosted a VEX Demonstration at PARC. Thanks, Jack, for leading this demo!<br />
<br />
DEWBOT VI experienced a number of mechanical problems at PARC XIII, even missing a qualifying match (Q6) in the process (ouch!).<br />
<br />
==Matches==<br />
<br />
We managed 3 wins and 3 losses in the qualifying matches, ending 8th of 19 teams. <br />
<br />
There were 6 play-off alliances. We were selected by 3rd Alliance Captain 2753 (Overdrive) together with Team 339 (Kilroy).<br />
<br />
===Qualifying Matches===<br />
Q1: Win 6-0 with 222 (Tigertrons) & 303 (Panther Robotics) against 84 (Chuck), 1143 (Cruzin Comets) & 316 (Lunatecs)<br><br />
Q6: Loss 4-7 with 1218 (Vulcan Robotics) & 341 against 303, 2053 (Tigertronics) & 222 - ''1640 a no-show''<br><br />
Q8: Loss 4-7 with 1143 & 2053 against 222, 433 (Firebirds) & 1071 (MAX)<br><br />

<br />
==Mechanical Problems==<br />
<br />
:*Kicker failure due to absent wire ties (for match Q1, this is a pit process failure)<br><br />
:*Failure of Pivot #3 at the Pivot Tube - Pivot Plate junction during Q1. Not catastrophic 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 change will be applied in the future and will be retrofit to current pivots as time allows.<br><br />
:*Pivot #4 stopped steering again during one match. An old problem without an understood cause. Motor was not hot.<br />
:*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.<br><br />
:*Pneumatic leak developed during SF1-1, with consequent loss of the kicker. Repaired.<br><br />
:*A Pivot Transfer Axle Bearing is blown on Pivot 4 and must be replaced.<br><br />
<br />
On the other hand, Gary Deaver's tread anchors held up to the abuse of competition.<br />
<br />
==Post-Mortem==<br />
<br />
PARC XIII brought back memories of times gone by - Like [[DEWBOT IV PARC XI | PARC XI]] where we spent every spare minute (and a few which weren't spares) repairing the robot (in spite of this, we were the 6th alliance captain and made it to the semi-finals - ''in abstentia due to mechanical problems''). I personally do not long for those days. The low point of my day was letting down Teams 1218 and 341 during qualifying match 6. These are teams which I would want to have considering us as allies.<br><br />
<br />
We are running a lot of demos and doing a fair bit of driving practice. This is all good, but it does wear out the robot. This won't get any easier.<br><br />
<br />
Our pit process was not followed. We will follow it during future matches. This left us with a non-functional kicker in a couple matches. We should have also jumped on the Transfer Axle problem before it bit us.<br><br />
<br />
We played a great defensive game. We should kick a lot more, though. Preventing the opposition from scoring is only half the game. More focus on scoring opportunities is needed (even when we play defense).<br />
<br />
On the development side, we need to keep plugging away at the possessor, too.<br><br />
<br />
DEWBOT VI seems to be the only robot without a useful autonomous mode. Probably not really true (there must be others), but Team Overdrive saw this as a tremendous shortcoming of ours (especially given our flyers). It's May. We're a good team with a good robot. ''We need to address this!''<br><br />
<br />
Driving Practice - without clear training objectives, we tend to practice what we do well. We really need to focus more on what we need to do but can't do well (yet). If we're wearing out the robot, it should be for a good purpose.<br><br />
<br />
The Pivot replacement process was a painful one. More openings are needed in the frame to facilitate access (or more small-fingered orphans). Also, we should have a documented pivot change process. The design and documentation of key maintenance processes belong to the Design Subteam. A Pivot change process was designed and documented for the [[4-Wheel Pivot Drive | Hypothetical 4-Wheel Pivot Drive-train design]], but was not revisited for [[DEWBOT VI]]. Add to learnings for next year's design.<br><br />
<br />
Siri Maley was Coach for (3) qualifying matches and all of the play-offs. Well done, Siri.<br><br />
<br />
Vamshi was human player throughout the competition and performed this role flawlessly.<br><br />
<br />
Battery management was executed well. We would have (just) had batteries for the finals, had we survived to that point. One more battery (#6), seems to have bitten the dust, leaving us with 6 effectives. ''We needed them all.'' We have 4 working battery chargers (and 1 with a broken connector which needs to be repaired). We needed all 4 of the chargers as well (and the 5th one repaired).<br><br />
<br />
This year's performance would have been a solid one for Sab-BOT-age historically. On the other hand, we were Alliance captains at [[DEWBOT III PARC X | PARC X]] and [[DEWBOT IV PARC XI | PARC XI]], and champions at [[DEWBOT V PARC XII | PARC XII]] (albeit 2nd choice and not alliance captain). I think it was not up to our potential. We can do better.<br />

==Who we are ==<br />
'''Downingtown Area Robotics''' in Downingtown Pennsylvania, is a group of Students, Mentors and Sponsors, that knows it's important to get students interested in '''STEM''' ('''S'''cience, '''T'''echnology, '''E'''ngineering and '''M'''athematics) based careers. We do this through competition robotics. Our robots work in teams of two or three, working together as team on a common goal (not the robots that try to destroy each other.)<br />
<br />
Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do. From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations. We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots.<br />
<br />
Contact us at DEWBOTROBOT at Yahoo dot com for more information.<br />
<br />
==Competitions==<br />
We build robots for three different competitions, [[FIRST Robotics Competition]] the [[VEX Robot Challenge]] and the [[FIRST Lego League]]. <br />
<br />
[[Image:FRC logo.jpg|150px|right|alt="FRC Logo"|link=http://usfirst.org]]<br />
:FIRST Robots are large, at 28" * 38" * 60" and weigh up to 120 pounds (without battery or bumpers). You are given an initial kit of parts. You can buy or fabricate most any other part that you need from any source. The robot can be either bolted, riveted, glued or welded, no tape is allowed. The robot must be designed, built and tested in six weeks. There is a limit on the numbers and types of motors that you can use. The robot is powered by a single 12 volt battery. <br />
<br />
::'''Team 1640 competed''' at the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes (RIT, Rochester NY 4-6 Mar-2010)]] and [[DEWBOT VI Philadelphia Regional |Philadelphia (Drexel, Philadelphia PA 25-27 Mar-2010)]] Regional Competitions! We've also competed at [[DEWBOT VI PARC XIII | PARC XIII]], [[DEWBOT VI Monty Madness | Monty Madness]], and [[DEWBOT VI Bridgewater Battle | Bridgewater-Raritan Battle Royale]] off-season events. The team has been awarded two engineering awards for DEWBOT VI's novel drive-train. Come out and support the team!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:VEX logo.jpg|right|alt="VEX Logo"|link=http://www.vexrobotics.com/]]<br />
:[[VEX Robots]] must fit into an 18" cube and do not have a weight limit. Parts may only be purchased from [http://vexlabs.com VEX], but they can be cut and shaped any way provided there are no sharp edges. Parts may only be bolted together, no assembly with glue or tape is allowed. There is a limit of ten motors and/or servos. The robot is powered by a single 7.2 volt battery.<br />
<br />
::We have 8 teams that participate in the [[VEX Robot Challenge]]. In 2010 [[VRC_Team_80 | Team 80 - Pegasus]] along with [[VRC_Team_81|Team 81 Longshot]] went to the VEX World Championships. Two of our mentors, Foster Schucker and Steve Rhoads were awarded Mentor of the Year.<br />
<br />
::Our regular season is from September to May, but we do summer activities. Starting in fall of 2010 we will be competing under the name [[VEX-MEN]] (yes, a play on X-Men).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:FLL logo.jpg|150px|right|alt="FLL Logo"link=http://usfirst.org]]<br />
:[[FIRST Lego League]] are smaller robots that are made out of Lego parts. Teams build robots to perform autonomous missions. These missions may require the robot to do one or more steps. This is a very exiting robot competition allowing students to bring special skills to the competition table.<br />
<br />
::The 2009/2010 FLL competition season is over, but watch this space, we are planning a spring session to do a different set of missions. See us at the May 3 Science Fair<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==Teams==<br />
There are a number of teams that make up Downingtown Area Robotics(FRC, VRC and FLL):<br />
<br />
;:[[FIRST Robotics Competition]] -- [[FRC Team 1640]], Team [[Sab-BOT-age]] - Every year we build a new robot, they are all called DEWBOT (from Downingtown East and West roBOT) and are numbered. The 2010 robot is called DEWBOT VI. Start with the [[DEWBOT VI | overview of DEWBOT VI]] to get an idea about this years game ''Breakaway'' and our robot.<br />

<br />
== Other committee meetings ==<br />
The [[Steering Committee]] meets on the last Friday of the month at 6:15PM With build season going on and there being a large number of the Steering Committee at the build sessions, there are no formal meeting until the last Friday in April. If you have an item for the Steering Team contact them at the build session.<br />
<br />
== People ==<br />
[[Image:Namewordle.jpg|300px|right|alt="People Names""|link=:Category:Students]]<br />
'''Thank you very much to all of our [[Sponsor | sponsors]]!'''<br />
<br />
'''We would like to express our appreciation to all of our [[Mentors]] that work with the roboteers on a day to day basis.'''<br />
<br />
Each [[:Category:Students | student]] that worked on a robot is listed with that[[:Category:Robot | robot]]. Across the years we have graduated some very impressive students, you may be or soon will be working for our [[Alumni]].<br />
<br />
And a final thank you to all the [[parents]] that help us out.<br />
<br />
==[[Engineering]]==<br />
<br />
We do a lot of engineering. There are a lot of details and information that go into making a robot right. For example if you are going to drill a hole for an 8-32 screw you use a #16 drill, but if you want to tap the hole (thread it) you use a #29 drill. Most of us can't remember all that, so we've created a series of pages that holds all that information.<br />
<br />
Click here for [[Engineering]] references and links.<br />
<br />
== Safety ==<br />
We are very safety oriented, we have a safety captain to monitor all aspects of our build process. <br />
<br />
All of our middle school students are trained on hand tools before they are allowed to use them. They use hacksaws and files while wearing safety glasses. Middle schoolers are supervised by either a mentor or one of our senior FRC students while they cut and form metal parts.<br />
<br />
All of our high school students are trained on the power tool before they use it. Safety eyeware is worn at all times in the shop. First year FRC roboteers may only use power tools under the supervision of a mentor or one of our senior FRC students.<br />
<br />
We hold regular safety meetings to reinforce our safety policy.<br />

<hr />
<div>15-May-2010 at Montgomery High School in Skillman, NJ. This is our third year at Monty Madness (see DEWBOT [[DEWBOT IV Monty Madness | IV]] and [[DEWBOT V Monty Madness | V]]'s competitions). Check out the [http://www.montymadness.org/index.html event website].<br />
<br />
Sab-BOT-age made a strong showing against a very competitive field, finishing 10th seed out of 42 teams.<br />
<br />
Did I already mention that this was a competitive field? See Siri Maley's [[media:MontyMadness2010_Scouting_Database.xls | Scouting Database]] for the details.<br />
<br />
We were the first selection of team 365 (''MOE''), captain of the 6th alliance. Team 2344 (''Saunders Droid Fatory'') completed our alliance. Alas, we were defeated in the quarterfinals by the 4th alliance (103 ''Cybersonics'', 341 ''Miss Daisy'' and 75 ''RoboRaiders'').<br />
<br />
A tough competition. We played well. <br />
<br />
==Matches==<br />
<br />
==Who was there==<br />
Students: Paul, Ben R, Carly, Douglas, Jen, Michael, Sasha, Andrew<br><br />
Mentors: Mike Rizzo, Siri Maley, John Stumpo, Faith & Clem McKown<br><br />
Parents: Susan & John Weissman, David Wall<br><br />
<br />
:Driver: Carly & Paul<br><br />
:Operators: Sasha, Paul, Michael & Jen<br><br />
:Coaches: Clem McKown & Siri Maley<br><br />
:Human Player: Andrew<br><br />
:Administrator: Faith McKown<br><br />
:Pit Captain: Douglas<br><br />
:Scout: Siri Maley<br><br />
<br />
==Problems Encountered==<br />
:* During the first quarterfinal match, our battery (#1) failed, even though the charger (the newest fast-charger) indicated a full charge. This battery had been used for our first qualifying match (Q3), without problems. I suspect the charger; although the charging cycle and time for this battery appeared normal, the subsequent battery put on this charger failed to charge (the charger did not see it). This battery did charge on an old charger. This failure was not due to battery inattention.<br />
:* The drivetrain occassionally went crazy, with wheels going in unpredictable directions and uncoordinated with each other. Occured in a number of matches. Seems to be a new problem. Cause unknown. Steering motors were checked immediately afterwards and were not hot. Battery voltage okay.<br />
:* The IR sensor does not seem reliable. Monty Madness has bright, low field lights which could be interfereing with the sensor. Sensor also not a useful indicator in teleop mode. <br />
:* We wore out the Deaver tread during the 1st quarterfinal (probably a casualty of the battery problem). Did not replace (no time).<br />
:* We went to the first quarterfinal match with a loose wheel axle collar. This is on the pit checklist, and apparantly not checked.<br />
:* Had to replace the kicker elastics. This caused no problem in competition.<br />
<br />
==Post-Mortem==<br />
<br />
Overall, Sab-BOT-age and DEWBOT VI did a great job at Monty Madness. This competition is packed with many superlative FRC teams from the area (being decidedly NJ-centric). When I looked at the list of attending teams, I was decidedly concerned over our prospects.<br />
<br />
Our good performance, however, does not leave us with nothing to learn.<br />
<br />
The battery failure during the 1st quarterfinal occured in spite of careful battery management. The timing of this failure could have hardly been worse. We need to isolate the cause of this failure and correct this. <br />
<br />
Likewise, we need to understand and correct the erratic drive-train behavior. This seems to be a new problem (not the old Pivot 4 story).<br />
<br />
Autonomous performance was significantly better than in past competitions ''(We scored! On purpose!)'', but we still have miles to go before we sleep. I would like us to explore replacing the IR sensor with a LED and shielded photodetector on opposite Ball Dam Gussetts. When a ball (or anything) breaks the beam, kick (in autonomous). There are also valuable teleop benefits to a sensor detecting a ball in position (there are a lot of places on the field that the driver cannot see because of the bumps, and balls do tend to accumulate there).<br />
<br />
Driver controls and driver intuition do not seem to be aligned. I've been informed that I need to buy an X-Box 360 for the driver to solve this problem. Am open to alternative solutions as well.<br />
<br />
The Deaver tread attachment system is great, but we need pre-punched treads for a fast change (but even this would not have been fast enough between the two quarterfinals). We should change all wheels over before (BR)².<br />
<br />
The new battery box survived Monty Madness. A cursory examination of the old box made it abundantly clear that it would have failed in competition had we not replaced it. As anticipated, the crack originated at a sharp interior corner from the scroll saw cut.<br />
<br />
Douglas did a great job a Pit Captain, but some purposeful pit crew training is needed.<br />
<br />
Post-competition meetings were held and the Pit Process followed were time allowed (some competitions were too close together to allow this luxury). These processes were both posted in the pit.<br />
<br />
'''An Observation:''' Robots hang, but this is not so common. Many robots which are able hang do not. My sense is that the math just doesn't work. If you can score (or defend), it is more effective to spend the 20 sec or so necessary to hang in scoring or defending. I think we made the correct strategic decision when we opted not to hang. In two (2) Regionals and (2) off-season events, I have yet to see a suspended robot. Many robots that attempt to hang fail to succeed.<br />

'Sup? I'm a new member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I'm a student who doesn't actually go to either of the Downingtown high schools. Instead, I'm from Conestoga. And suddenly my username makes sense.<br />
<br />
Stoga has a "robotics club" (which I was in as a junior) where they play around with Lego robots (not for competition), but they don't have an FRC team, nor a VEX team. I'm very happy that team 1640, team Sab-BOT-age, accepts me as one of their own. :)<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college next year.<br />
<br />
I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />

<br />
At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with [http://www.team341.com Miss Daisy], and videotaping things.<br />

'Sup? I'm a new member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I'm a student who doesn't actually go to either of the Downingtown high schools. Instead, I'm from Conestoga. And suddenly my username makes sense.<br />
<br />
Stoga has a "robotics club" (which I was in as a junior) where they play around with Lego robots (not for competition), but they don't have an FRC team, nor a VEX team. I'm very happy that team 1640, team Sab-BOT-age, accepts me as one of their own. :)<br />
<br />
I turned 18 when the team went to the [[DEWBOT VI Finger Lakes Regional | Finger Lakes Regional]] at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Coincidentally, RIT is where I'm going to college next year.<br />

I fail at cutting chains (see photo).<br />
<br />
I have also been known to burn dremels.<br />
<br />
At competitions, I can be found cheering, dancing, carrying our giant screwdriver, scouting (against my will), guarding seats in the stands, hanging out with [http://www.team341.com Miss Daisy], and videotaping things.<br />

<hr />
<div>15-May-2010 at Montgomery High School in Skillman, NJ. This is our third year at Monty Madness (see DEWBOT [[DEWBOT IV Monty Madness | IV]] and [[DEWBOT V Monty Madness | V]]'s competitions). Check out the [http://www.montymadness.org/index.html event website].<br />
<br />
Sab-BOT-age made a strong showing against a very competitive field, finishing 11th seed out of 42 teams.<br />
<br />
We were the first selection of team 365 (MOE), captain of the 6th alliance. Team 2344 ((Saunders Droid Fatory) completed our alliance. Alas, we were defeated in the quarterfinals by the 4th alliance (103, 341 and 75).<br />
<br />
A tough competition. We played well. <br />

<div>[[Downingtown Area Robotics]] [[FRC Team 1640 | Team 1640]] [[image:DB6_RIT_team_picture_100306_csm.jpg|right|500px|thumb|Team after crating the robot]] participated in the [http://www.firstrochester.org/ 2010 Fingerlakes Regional] held at the [http://www.rit.edu/ Rochester Institute of Technology] on March 4-6, 2010. <br />
<br />
Twenty-five roboteers, mentors and parents made the 6 hour drive on to Rochester NY to watch Sab-BOT-age compete. After getting off to a great start of being the first robot inspected, we set off to the practice field. <br />
<br />
During practice we uncovered some code problems that we worked on, but never quite got 100% fixed. In a first for us we made all of our practice matches. Our new "design before building" practice has created robots that are mechanically sound. The only work on the robot on Thursday was to replace some bolts on the front of the robot that was interfering with the ball. This work was planned before we left and Clem's step by step instructions made the work go fast.<br />
<br />
Thursday team dinner was at Dinosaur BBQ, a downtown Rochester Landmark. <br />
<br />
On Friday the [[DEWBOT VI Chairmans Award]] presentation team did a final practice run and then did their "Ignite Sab-BOT-age" presentation for the judges. It went well and we got lots of great comments back. Only 11 teams out of 44 made the effort to compete for FIRST's highest award. We did not win, the winning team was a two time Chairman's winner.<br />
<br />
Friday morning also saw the installation of a new chain tension device, a PVC cap from Home <del>Robot</del> Depot. Friday qualifications saw us move up and down many times in the rankings, topping out near 15 and getting down around 40. Control system problems were an annoyance and the team worked on them non-stop.<br />
<br />
Friday night we celebrated Jen's 18th birthday with cake and pizza in the hotel. Some of the pit crew went to China Buffet of Rochester beforehand to decompress and review the day's events. Rizzo, Foster and Siri also met later to review and share perspectives (Rizzo acted as a referee at the event).<br />
<br />
Saturday was a repeat of Friday on the field. We were not chosen for the final alliances, but we did use the time to allow the programming team to work on the robot.<br />
<br />
This was not such a great performance for us. We finished the competition ranked 37 of 44, winning only 2 matches, losing 7, and getting a tie (zero-zero) in 1. We found several control bugs that we're addressing, though we ran into very few major mechanical problems. We hope to fix many of these by the [[DEWBOT VI Philadelphia Regional | Philadelphia Regional]] at Drexel University on March 25-27, 2010.<br />
<br />
On a positive note our pivot drive got lots of attention from other teams, judges and spectators. Another team had a very similar setup and was impressed with ours. We also received kudos from the Safety Judges for our constant use of gloves to move the robot around, safety glasses always being worn, keeping our pit (and the one next to us) cleaned and all loose material picked up. By Saturday we had received 35 Safety Tokens, a new team record.<br />
<br />
Our new "mascot" screwdriver also got lots of attention. It was in motion a lot, dancing with the teams and serving as a limbo pole during one of the breaks. It was visible from everywhere in the arena and even appeared on the local RIT television channel. Even though we were a small group it helped make us visible to other teams. <br />
<br />
==Improvement Plans==<br />
===Mechanical===<br />
:*To do for Drexel - We need to readdress the possessor. On-field performance and pit research demonstrated a major correlation high-scoring robots and effective possessors--usually those with high tangential velocity . This is possible, but will need some work.<br />
:*Fixed on-site - The right front steering chain was loose (we knew this), causing steering problems. This chain needed be tensioned - Clem & Siri made a quick stop at Home Depot to pick up a PVC end cap and installed this as a chain tensioner before our first competition Friday morning. The fix was effective and shows very little wear. It ought to last through Drexel, though we'll bring spares and plan to make a permanent nylon fixture for the post-season.<br />
:*The latex tubing wears out occasionally. The pit checks routinely for signs of wear and replaces the tubing before any failure occurs. The 4-pass through tubes were replaced Friday morning before our first competition match. The 1-pass back tube was replaced Saturday...<br />
:*...but late on Saturday all (5) latex tube passes failed simultaneously (or nearly so). Analysis of the sheared tube ends show apparent shock damage. Observation of the kicker cycle shows that cocking starts before a kick is completed. Review of the code confirms that the delay between firing the kicker and re-cocking is zero. We believe that the damage was caused by a code change which eliminated the delay between kicking and re-cocking (can we confirm this by comparing with older code?). The high-energy collision between kicker and cocking arms severely shocks the entire kicker/cocking system. The tubing has been replaced, but there is concern this abuse may have caused other yet-to-be-observed damage.<br />
:*Fixed on-site - We seem to occasionally bend the side-guard eye-bolts, probably from incorrect placement on the cart. They still worked and are easy enough to replace, but we should be careful. We replaced the bent eye-bolts.<br />
:*To do for Drexel/temporarily fixed on-site - The battery mount broke late in the qualification matches on Saturday. This did not impact the robot's performance during the match and a solid field repair was made using Aluminum angle before we needed to queue for the next match. Failure originated at an unradiused inside corner (a stress concentrator). We will re-form two (one spare) replacement mounts for Drexel with radiused corners (to avoid stress concentrators) and slightly looser fit.<br />
:*Possibly to do for Drexel - There's some driver concern about bungees as side-guard material. We may experiment with this for Drexel, though not to the determent of going over the bump. We only had two "ball infiltration" penalties at FLR, one on the side during our first competition due to human miscalculation, and the second at the robot front due to lack of robot control (St. Vitus' dance - a.k.a. the "happy dance" - continued from autonomous throughout teleop).<br />
:*Fixed on-site - We occasionally lose our patented kicker latch wire-ties. This is an easy fix, but they need to be check regularly, and we should probably expand who has this replacement skill.<br />
:*Fixed on-site - The centeror velcro needed replacement after match 62(?) in which we ran into some problems doing over the bump. This isn't difficult, though we didn't quite do it correctly (the back isn't on). We can fix that, though hopefully readdressing the posessor will make it unnecessary.<br />
<br />
===Programming===<br />
Likely Priorities: 1) Make the happy dance stop--all the time. 2) Either reinstate a less sensitive snake mode or create a reliable roll forward-shoot-score autonomous mode(s), if the new possessor makes snake unnecessary (by the time this priority decision is made). 3) Create reliable camera aiming code for real conditions in teleop. This does not need to be active, but rather could resemble [[DEWBOT V Mechanical | DEWBOT V's]] "locked on target" display (though it may or may not be heads-up). 3) Augment (especially autonomous) with camera and/or IR sensing. This ''is not'' a major priority, considering both how little scoring/ball movement can happen in autonomous and how well correctly aligned and coded robots (without sensing) can and did preform in this area. <br />
<br />
===Field Team===<br />
<br />
:*Practice counts. We didn't. It showed. We should fix this at Drexel on the practice day (Thursday).<br />
:*The robot is not fragile. We can be more aggressive.<br />
:*We have not developed clear tactics. Poorer opponents with clearer tactics have beaten us. More practice, thought, and research should help with this.<br />
:*Decision to abandon snake - was this wise? (Note: we hope to address this before Drexel; the original snake mode was sensitive to the point of irrelevancy for the drivers in competition--who subsequently did not use it at all. The command became an on-the-spot wheel zeroing function, which was used to at least some good effect.)<br />
:*How will we score via kicking if the vision assist can't be fixed for Drexel (so far, we do not)? Regardless, we'll need to address this at Drexel on Thursday.<br />
<br />
===What worked===<br />
:*We were the first robot passing inspection<br />
:*Pivot drive operated well in Crab Mode after the chain tensioner was installed and control lag reduced, except for during "happy dance" incidents<br />
:*We go through the tunnel - in fact, we were the first team to do so<br />
:*We go over the bump<br />
:*We don't tip over (thus far)<br />
:*Breakdowns were quite limited. The broken battery box was the largest mechanical failure. Had to replace the passive centeror velcro. We wear out elastic tubes and kicker latch wire ties. Side-guard eye-bolts were bent. No electrical issues excluding the sudden loss of communications in match 41.<br />
:*Bumper changes are fast & easy (but a little tough for big hands)<br />
:*All of the maintenance we had to perform was easily and quickly accomplished. The robot is very serviceable.<br />
:*We attracted a great deal of attention for our design. Unfortunately, our performance did not impress anyone. ''We could talk the talk, but we couldn't walk the walk.''<br />
:*Human Players - Andrew & Matt performed flawlessly.<br />
:*We got very few penalties - just two, both "ball infiltration" violations, one early on from human miscalculation and one from loss of robot control during the "happy dance".<br />
<br />
==Match and Standing Results==<br />
''Drive team lists are estimates.''<br><br />
'''Match 4''': Rough start, we lost 0 to 9 getting a "ball infiltration" penalty for allow a soccer ball more than 3" into our frame. Drive Team Paul, Jen, Matt, Clem.<br><br />
'''Match 14''': 0 to 0 tie, partially for penalties on both sides -- this happened to a lot of people. We were, however, the first robot to go through the tunnel in the entire competition. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Matt, Siri.<br><br />
'''Match 21''': Won 2 to 1 with 610 (eventual finalist) and 3015, beating 217 (champion), 3181, and 316. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Matt, Clem.<br><br />
'''Match 26''': - Lost 3 to 8. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Andrew, Clem.<br><br />
'''Match 31''': - Lost in a painful 1 to 2. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Andrew, Clem.<br><br />
'''Match 41''': - We lost communication to the robot early in teleop, but our allies 217 (champion) and 1591 pulled out a 9 to 0 victory against 2053 (quarter-finalist), 2340, and 1405. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Matt, Clem.<br><br />
'''Match 49''': - Lost in a painful 2 to 3. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Matt, Clem.<br><br />
'''Match 54''': - Killed 0 to 3. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Matt, Siri.<br><br />
'''Match 62''': - Lost with a close 1 to 2. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Matt, Clem.<br><br />
'''Match 69''': - Lost 1 to 3. Drive Team Carly, Paul, Matt, Clem.<br><br><br />
<br />
'''Seeding Score''': 51.00 (highest was 118.00)<br><br />
'''Coopertition Bonus''': 6.00 (highest 52.00)<br><br />
'''Hanging Bonus''': unsurprisingly, 0.00 (highest 22.00)<br><br />
See [http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Community/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2010_Assets/09_The%20Tournament_RevC.pdf Seeding Points Description] for details.<br />
<br />
We scored twice, both times by herding balls into the goal. We kicked a number of times (autonomously and teleop), but did not score by kicking.<br />
<br />
== Chairman's Award Presentation ==<br />
Carly, Sasha and Doug were the chosen representatives to do the presentation. There was a flurry of minor editing that went on Thursday afternoon to complete the slides. Foster took them to Kinkos after dinner and spent 1.5 hours getting handouts, presentation copies and poster boards completed. <br />
<br />
The team reviewed the materials a few times in the demo area before they were called in. It went well and we were given comments and notes to work on for next time.<br />
<br />
Out of 44 teams, only 11 submitted Chairman's Awards. 8 of the 11 were prior Chairman's award winners, so we were in good company. We didn't win, but we came away with great ideas on what to work on for next year. <br />
<br />
Thanks to all that helped work on the document and the presentation (Andrew, Doug, Sasha, Nicole) and to Nicole with a last minute assist from Siri on creating our musical slide show.<br />

'Sup? I'm a new member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I'm a student who doesn't actually go to either of the Downingtown high schools. Instead, I'm from Conestoga. And suddenly my username makes sense.<br />
<br />
Stoga has a "robotics club" (which I was in as a junior) where they play around with Lego robots (not for competition), but they don't have an FRC team, nor a VEX team. I'm very happy that team 1640, team Sa-BOT-age, accepts me as one of their own. :)<br />
<br />
I'm in 12th grade just turned 18 in March. As a senior who plans on going to college next year, I often get bombarded (almost daily) with questions such as "Where are you going to college?" "What's your major going to be?" "Who are you going to marry?" Well, maybe not the last one, but you get the point. I've heard back from my colleges, but I'm still trying to make a decision.<br />

'Sup? I'm a new member of FIRST team 1640, the [[Downingtown Area Robotics]] FRC team. I'm a student who doesn't actually go to either of the Downingtown high schools. Instead, I'm from Conestoga. And suddenly my username makes sense.<br />
<br />
Stoga has a "robotics club" (which I was in as a junior) where they play around with Lego robots (not for competition), but they don't have an FRC team, nor a VEX team. I'm very happy that team 1640, team Sa-BOT-age, accepts me as one of their own. :)<br />
<br />
I'm in 12th grade just turned 18 in March. As a senior who plans on going to college next year, I often get bombarded (almost daily) with questions such as "Where are you going to college?" "What's your major going to be?" "Who are you going to marry?" Well, maybe not the last one, but you get the point. I've heard back from my colleges, but I'm still trying to make a decision.<br />
