Sumo Bots C (NY Trial)

[gh]

Ah well, it looks like I won't be showing up with a new sumo bot for states. I couldn't finish my states bot in time since I never got the parts I needed machined, and Victors are being very finicky. :(

hmm... so im at the hotel right now

Our school surprisingly has very nice accommodations this year, in comparison to years before

We got a coach bus, very nice hotel, with full wifi, dtv, weight room, CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, unlimited coffee and tea =D

now back to sumo bot, I didnt get to change much either, haha replaced the rubber bands, bought a bunch load of batteries

When i was impounding, i got a glimpse of Brighton's sumo bot, it look very good

Nice super soft touring wheels with a ~45* angle metal scoop that will most likely get under most lexan scoops

I am curious to see how it does, the only weakspot would probably be the side of the scoop

All the other bots in my bracket impounded much earlier than I did (argh, transportation), so I didn't get to see them. The few I saw weren't exactly impressive, but they looked like they could beat me. I basically have no hopes of getting to finals.

Somebody had dropped, stepped on, and kicked my transmitter. Some part of it broke, and basically it doesn't center its sticks. I really doubt I can operate like this. :|

I better sleep.
