Dec. 15

Last saturday we had our first competition of the year. We were able to get into the finals with team 5011, or Botsquad from SOAR High School. In the semi finals our alliance placed fourth. We lost because of the failure to tighten our axel locks and we lost the ability to use our left motors. Phi-Omega's robot "Jiggles"? has had problems with encoder motors burning out. Our lesson from the competition are that we need to bring more assembled encoder motors, tighten gears after Every match, and get more driver training. The team is working on new autonomies and new ways to pick up crates.
