March 15th: Silicon Valley Regional (Day 2)

Today was very tiring!

Unfortunately, we had many problems with our robot today. Since the code was untested, we had to revise it a lot, and for many of our matches, the robot was barely moving since it was really hard to control. Some of the key fixes were that we had to connect our NavX2 sensor for the gyroscope and we had to invert a bunch of things.

The intake system was stuck because we needed wheels large enough to occupy the space of the intake so that the ball was squished with enough tension. However, no team had any spare 6in wheels. We didn't expect to attach the algae cannon either.

Overall, today was very tiring and rather disappointing. Our placement is pretty bad, and we honestly know that our robot hasn't been able to interact much on the field. However, we know that we'll work our butts off for the East Bay Regional!

I am so tired and sleepy and I just want to sleep forever.
