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.

I GOT 5th at West point!!! did anybody see Niskayuna's beast? It damaged by body it had so much power
oh yeah, I'm the Webster Thomas Sumo guy

Were you the one with four flaps was the shovel?

no, We had a solid sheet metal body with a scoop, yellow wheels, and a cooling fan inside an acrylic case on the top
