DEWBOT IV Philadelphia Regional
The Philadelphia Regional at Drexel was our second Dewbot IV competition.
We did much better than at Hartford, resolving some of our drive-train problems. Drive-train was still our weak link, however. The after-action report is available.
It turns out that placing the Trackball back on the Overpass at the match end for bonus points is a strong suit of ours.
Cheepoof, Team 1640's elusive mascot, made a rare appearance and was captured on film (well, CMOS, really).
Kelly, a visiting student from München (Munich) joined the team for Hartford and Philadelphia (Kelly was visiting Heather).
