Today was amazing. Last night, we had to stay up until 2 in the morning to keep working on our robot, and only got 3 hours of sleep! But we still got it done, and it worked surprisingly well, for a low-scoring robot. Though the other robots looked super-complicated and looked formidable, we actually weren't that far behind. In fact, one time we even got to 3RD PLACE in rank! It was the best feeling I ever had. However, our robot started to break down after that for some mysterious reason. First, our right wheels stopped moving at random times during a game. This made for very tight situations where all our robot could do was pivot, while the opposing team was scoring like mad. Then one time we even lost complete connection to our cortex. We had to restart the controller to regain connection. We should get that fixed for next time.
In the end, we were at 9th place. It was a little disappointing after our rise to 3rd, but it was amazing considering the quality of our robot. Overall. I think we had a really good day. Our robot worked well, and we did pretty well. Now all we have to do is refine our robot, fix some minor bugs and come up with a shooting system for it. We had an awesome time today!
