FIRST Robotics - Tournament Day Two

I would love to report that all of our mechanical difficulties went away.  That the matches we played were bereft of errors by machines or humans.  It would be delightful to say that everything went perfectly.

Alas.*

We continue to have control system issues and the robot at times has driven like a cement truck with a flat tire.  We have yet to get our autonomous programs to the actual scoring useful points stage.  We have had more parts of the robot dismantled and reassembled.  

But it is a fine learning experience.



* Our record currently is 4-1 putting us in 10th place in a field of 60.  Having demonstrated that we are not That Lucky I will now plainly say that these kids are That Good.
