What regional are you attending? We’re going to Oklahoma in a couple of weeks. That was our back up plan! Our robot is pretty good but we were completely mauled by a couple of them. You can definitely see a difference in robots with lower/higher funding. There were two robots that almost brought tears to my eyes because of their beauty alone! LOL! We’re not there yet! Very inspiring, though!

Good luck to your team and be a safe driver! Pulling those things is always a challenge.

We’re at the Chesapeake regional in MD.

I think a lot of the variance comes from adult engineer built to true student built machines. We believe in student led. I barely touched a tool all season.

The worst drive was in 2012. Strong headwind almost the entire way. Our other van driver behind me told me a couple times he was surprised I was able to stay in my lane

Fun fun.
