Breakaway! at the PITT Petersen Event Center

Today, as we made finishing adjustments to the robot, a sudden rush came about me.

I suddenly realized that we were actually at the competition, about to compete against teams that had the same goals as us. After eight weeks of tweaking, sweating, marketing, and inventing (not necessarily in that order), we were finally ready to try our best at the Pittsburgh Regional.

Tonight, we put the last attachments to the roof: two foam guide lines that allowed the ball to roll off of the roof onto the area in front of our robot's kicker. Also, we worked on the protection of the hardware inside.

Hopefully tomorrow we'll see our robot do well in the competition.
