Well, I had a great time--even if I was completely incoherent...
But there's nothing new with that.
The 'bots that were there were inspirational--even Chris's 'bot. I just
wish I took more pics... oh well.
More than that... who knows.
Saturday morning I'm sitting at the local coffee shop with my Winonian
friends, talking about EQ, WW, and the 'bot competition. At that time
(arond 8 a.m.) the 'bot was completely untested 'cause it wasn't working at all.
So then I drive to The Big Smoke, sit down, tinker with the 'bot, and came
up with a few idears to fixum da problems...
Thanks goodness Calum pushed the start of the competition back to 2 p.m.
So, more tinkering and finagling, and lo and behold, a completely
non-functioning bot for the first round.
Slight improvememnt in the second bout (3 blocks)
somewhat larger improvemetn in the third bout (2x6 :) )
and then back to 2 blocks in the 4th and get 2ish...
It was fun to watch all the difernt 'bots--Ka-On's grabber and 'long arm of
hte law' 'bot was great fun, Steve and Rob's sweeper 'bot vacuumed up any
block in the field, Trev's ;bot with the pneumatics again--very neat, and
Bruce... Well, Bruce's 'bot was the most consistant out there.
Can't wait to do it again sometime.
Oh wait, we are in March :)
Thanks to Chris and Calum for running the event. Again showing that when
you have a passion for a hobby, things fall into place.
Still very tired...
Dave K.
