Middletown Robotics News Feed Digest http://feed.informer.com/images/button3.gif http://feed.informer.com/ http://app.feed.informer.com/digest3/YVF7BDHKY3.html Respective post owners and feed distributors http://feed.informer.com/ Today we as a team were full of spirit and integrity. We did a very good job in showing that our robot can do what it is suppose to. Even though we finished in thirty-seventh in the qualifying matches, we were still picked to be in the sixth seated alliance. Our alliance partners, Team 237 (T.R.I.B.E.), and Team 816 (Panthers), were great hurdlers. With all three of our robots put together, we won the quarter finals match. Even though we lost the semi-finals by just a little bit, we as an alliance came to be one of the third place alliances in the elimination rounds. http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/philly-regional-day-three.html Middletown Robotics http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/philly-regional-day-three.html? Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:30 GMT Today started off to be great. We started off being qualified as rank two but the dropped down to rank twenty-five. Even though we dropped down, our robot did what we wanted it to do. The autonomous mode worked, the arm knocked the ball of the overpass, and we also got a nine lap match. These three things made us as a team, very happy. http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/philly-regional-day-two.html Middletown Robotics http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/philly-regional-day-two.html? Fri, 28 Mar 2008 19:00 GMT Today was great. First when we got there we took off the old roll cage and arm frame. After that we put on our newly designed arm. The arm worked really nice. As we tested the arm in a couple of practice matches, Justin and Santesh worked on the autonomous mode parts and the programming. After everything was put on, the robot looked and worked great. http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/philly-regional-day-one.html Middletown Robotics http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/philly-regional-day-one.html? Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:30 GMT We packed up everything in Duck's jeep and Adam's truck for our next regional in Philly. Hopefully the arm that we designed works really nice. We also will have a great autonomous mode. Now we just wait for the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">competition</span> to test all of our hard work. http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/getting-ready-for-philly.html Middletown Robotics http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/getting-ready-for-philly.html? Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:30 GMT The arm was started today. The new arm will be very efficient unlike the old one, which was slow and heavy. Hopefully this new arm design will increase our scoring ability from only doing laps. This arm will also give us a chance to get more points in autonomous mode.<br /><br /><br /><br />----------------------<br />Santesh Shah<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Student Team Leader</span> http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/arm.html Middletown Robotics http://team1370.blogspot.com/2008/03/arm.html?
