Hello ladies and gentleman, it is I, Toby Minick, blogging to you from the scrimmage at TMHS. Sahil and Ramiro have not shown up yet, the entire arm just broke down, and I have been elected team captain. We have about two minutes until our robot is tested for the first time.
So, the first round both of the red robots (Us) could move, until our robots started to move. We didn't score anything, and then we turned off our robot by running in backwards to a block. We have about 40 minutes until our next task, so we are going to fix all the problems.
So, the way it is, it looks like the arm needs alot more working and structuring. We don't have much time until the next match.
Sahil is has replaced Alex as the body driver. The auto period was too short, and the arm was flailing around the entire match. But we did score like a block, and the arm works. It's a lot better than the "Mandibles" that the other robots have. Much more versatile.
The arm apparently is broken again, Joel wants to remove the shoulder of the robot, making the arm unable to rotate on that axis. Might make the arm more stable, and the shoulder wasn't doing much anyway. Sahil and Alex simply turn the entire robot rather than Romiro turning the arm.
Autonomous would have worked, but the robot was backwards, swivel is bad, its unstable, and unused. Got two blocks.
We have Ghetto-afied the robot by duck taping the shoulder so it doesn't move. Our teammate couldn't move, but our robot still beat the other team all on its own.
That win there got us up to about middle of the pack, which is good when our robot had one round of not working at all, two rounds of being bad, and one round of ducktape
