Team Spudnik Competition Day 2 - Update 3

Well, our third match has come and gone, and it's time for another update. This round started off interestingly, with a team member being a bit late to the party due to being at Dairy Queen. That aside, things continued to proceed like this...


The drivers start lining up for the match (we're blue again). Also, Cameron makes the picture blurry by dancing.

-Match 3-

Unfortunately, we weren't able to replicate the success of our first match. When driving up to hang from the bar, we went too fast, which resulted in the robot getting stuck with the wheels and pneumatic pistons off the ground, making us immobile. So, things didn't turn out so hot...


Well, we're 1-2. The only points this match were from a teammate hanging on the low rung. 


After the round, we had this strategy meeting to discuss why the climbing didn't work. We came to the conclusion I wrote about earlier.

It isn't looking like we're in a winning position today, but we were never expecting that anyway. Shooter still isn't operational, and is still very much in limbo. More on that and everything else later. Will we manage to hang right again? Let's see...
