Days 42-43: Scrimmage Preparations & Robot Finishing

Scrimmage Preparations

After a very stressful period of the field shipment being delayed, it finally arrived at about 1:30PM on Saturday, Day 43.  We immediately started assembly and had it just about done before dinner time.

Robot Finishing

Both us and our sister team, 1868 have been finishing up our robots.  Today, 254 ran its first tube test and scored several tubes on all rack locations after loading tubes from the ground and the human player.  The scoring mechanism works great but the elevator and arm need some additional programming to increase controllability.
