Team Spudnik Competition Day 2 - Update 5

Double-whammy update! I didn't get a chance to post after match 5 due to computer battery life, but I'm back now with updates for matches 5 and 6. We were still red in both matches.

Obligatory pre-match robot setup shot.

-Match 5-

This match was...quite non-ideal. We had attempted to add on an old dumper design we had to get some points, but it wasn't done. That bumper made the bot more awkward to control, which resulted is us hitting an enemy bot climbing the pyramid, netting them 30 penalty points. This made our alliance lose 75 to 46...which means we would've won by a single point if we hadn't fouled. I forgot to photograph the scoreboard, sadly, and the video is different because my camera ran out of battery and couldn't record video. So yeah.

That was match 5...was match 6 any better?

OMG, it's a setup picture!

-Match 6-

Yep, it was hugely better. We did just baaaarely miss getting our hanging points, but it was still awesome. We did a great defense, and kept the enemy from scoring too much. It even lead us to get into a debate as to whether or not we should even be trying to add more scoring devices.

This was the final score. team Spudnik is now 3-3! We have two matches tomorrow...will we be able to leave here with a positive win-loss ratio? Stay tuned!
