Build Reflection
Well our robot has a rather distinctive feature to it which is that it is two robots. We have a cord and by using a jumper chip and two controllers plus a cable connecting the controllers, we can have practically two robots on the field. We have two separate drivers with the robots doing different things giving us an advantage in the playing field. Another feature of our robots is that they are geared. At the start we had one with large gears for power and the other regular but that didn't work so well so we got some more regular gears and they are both moderately fast and powerful. They have all the speed and power we need for them so it works out fine. Two things I would've done differently would be to get more cord for the robot, but we couldn't really do that since the protection we used on it well there wasn't anymore of it so we couldn't really do that anyways. Another thing I would've done differently would have been to start with the regular gears instead of trying the big gears since it wasn't worth it and in the end we only wasted time. To be honest for the competition I thought we would do okay. I could guarantee that we weren't going to finish first while others in my group were rather.. optimistic.. about that. In the end it looks like we did pretty good. I wasn't there for a day and apparently the group really screwed up on one of the matches, but it seems like we will at least finish in the top three from what I know has taken place. Maybe not, but I'm pretty sure we will.
