Saturday July 26, 2014
Team traveled to the Rock River Off-Season competition (R2OC). We won the first several matches and then we had a couple rough matches with non-functioning robot partners and some really close matches. We ended up paired with the 2nd seed and then the demolition derby took over in the elimination rounds. We took some strong hits to our front frame structure which in one match sheered off one of our tower structure arms that holds the wing on (welds held! just sheered off along the tubing). We ducked taped that up (Gorilla tape FTW) which didn’t hold long but we were able to make it through autonomous (we made all the autonomous shots the entire day) and the during that match we had the other tower get sheered off from other teams ramming into the robot. The drive up and back on Saturday made for a long day but very fun and exciting day.
