We're Back!

After a successful weekend, Team 58, the Riot Crew, returned from the BAE Granite State Regionals.  We did not come home empty handed either, as we were awarded the Johnson and Johnson Gracious Professionalism Award!  We also made it into and through the first round of finals with Teams 151 and 571 but were ultimately knocked out of the second round by some really great bots.  Though the competition is over, the season is not, look for us soon at a location near you for demonstrations of our abilities.

Trouble with controls, however, we seem to have found our problem.  Here are some pix from the day:

The Final Countdown

   

 As the build season rapidly comes to an end, Team 58, the Riot Crew, has invited many Maine teams to participate in practice on a temporary field.  Installed on Friday evening, the Riot Crew assembled almost one hundred ceiling tiles and wall tiles donated by Fairchild Semiconductor and The Home Depot resembling the playing field for the upcoming competition.  Mesalonskee brought their robot and Falgor made an appearance on Saturday.

    

 

Monday Falgor came for a visit with their bot. Both Messalonskee's and Falgor's (pictured here) designs are very impressive.  They both look to be formidable robots and will perform remarkably.  WELL DONE!  

 

 

Perhaps, one of the bots worked a little bit too well?

The Final Countdown
