sCRIMAGE NOTE

We participated in a scrimmage at the Glenelg Country School with 6 other teams

We were able to test a lot of the robot's functionality and discovered the following:

The exponential factors used in the programing for the Joy-stick drive are not allowing any speed modifications - we need to rethink this approach

We need an arm to push the balance bridge down at least an inch so the large front wheels can go over it.  One team had zip ties on their wheels to act as treads

The baton dispensers work fine but are rotating too fast - hard to keep track of the number of batons

We need to reverse the direction of some bolts that are holding an undercarriage brace so the robot clears the peak of the mountain

The robot goes over the mountain easily and is braced well.
