Ended the day 1-4-2. We had to over come a lot of issues, but we got everything working. Great job today, just one day left.
We have finaly won a match! 1-4-1. One more match for the day.
The programming has been fixed, the bumper cover tightened, and all the bolts have been checked. It's time to play Breakaway!
Watchdog error, but we didn't lose. 0-4-1.
WE GOT THE KICKER TO LOCK IN AUTONOMOUS!!!
0-4. But we made a strong defensive showing.
Adjusted the ball magnet and a new PVC pipe skirt, we should be good to go.
0-3. We're still have a ton of issues that we are fixing.
The kicker was broken in our second match, we are now 0-2. We are slowly making progress though.
Lost the first match, but Tyr moved, so that's a step in the right direction.

Checkout a video of our kicker! http://bit.ly/d4lCyw
We have withheld the kicker within our 65 pounds so we can adjust its power on Saturday, but the rest of the bot is bagged and in the office
All components of the arm are now off the bot. We have decided on a DeLorean style lexan shroud to cover the electronics
After extensive testing we have decided to take the arm off of Tyr and focus our attention for the next 24 hours on the kicker.
After two long workdays we still have a lot of work to do. Workday after school until we're done today.
