SWPA BotsIQ 2011

Worked Great.... We just had it about a 1/16 to 1/8 too low to the floor and had to adjust it as we went because they would not allow us to do any running tests in the arena on both days..

Frazier also used it and had great results...

It has it's goods and bads so use it accordingly...

It does absorb a lot of impact though..

I hope you have rumble # 2 on tape I cant wait to see it..

Did anyone else on here see it and what did you think?

lol i love that soda can drum

Cool to see some of the other teams without creeping in the pits. I was the driver for Highlands team 1 with Rugburn. Just wanted to comment on the sportsmanship at the event. Everyone was pretty helpful to each other. Not wat I was expecting. lol

I catch lots of fish probably my favorite thing to do

I went to camp this weekend for opening day of trout.

I'm starting to fade away from trout fishing. I messed up my back some how randomly friday night. It was like 38 degrees out and raining at 7am saturday. The creek was cold and really high. I jumped down the bank side and hurt my back more. Waded out to about chest height and from the cold water my back started to have spasms so i got maybe 15-20 minutes of fishing in.
I'll stick with walleye in erie, they taste better anyway

Haha that's tough conditions. I fish for anything I really don't limit what I fish for but I mainly catch carp largemouth smallmouth pickerel for freshwater. Strippers and blue fish in the salt. I don't get walleye around me.

Glad I didnt really miss all that much this weekend

I didn't get it off of my mom but she has it on tape.
I'll update with any details on a video being made.

Belle Vernon uploaded a video of the 2nd Royal Rumble.

After watching it I think it could have went a few ways and I'm not entirely sure how they gave out points

Belle Vernon seemed like it had the most control the entire time, but West Mifflin had their weapon.

There weren't as many big hits as in our Royal Rumble.

What was up with West Mifflin's drum to make it not give out big hits? Did it spin entirely too fast?? Or was it too small?

i need to get a running start to get bite i think and yah it could be spinning to fast

well anyway i still think we didnt do half bad i fliped bots like 7 or 8 times

hey alex is plum ( you ) still uploading to there youtube account

The small drum was designed to take out big weapon bots....

With the smaller weapon spinning faster there is no way that a bigger weapon will get a bite on you with the smaller weapon running higher RPM's..

I wish we could have went weapon to weapon against more bots but every bot that tried to go weapon to weapon with us never got a bite on us. We would chip and chip then get a bite and throw them a foot or two away.

Our problem was not weapon or design just running the skirts too low. We got hung up everywhere.

Belle Vernon basically beat us on getting hung up somewhere and they would hit us.

Just goes to show you that at Prelims, the floor was a lot better than finals.

I dont think we got hung up once at prelims.

I still counted the hits and rams and no one in that rumble was even close to us.

I thought we would have give Clairton a run with the higher weapon speed.

FRISCO

Just watched it again and over 41 hits and lifts from KV... Belle Vernon.... Their weapon worked for a total of 15 seconds...

SHAME!

FRISCO

Man you must have alot of patience to watch it over and over haha
