Team Rex Test Run for the 2011 Food Factor Challenge

[gzook1212]

Good job. But you might want to consider a menu program that lets you navigate between programs. Our team did and we got 326 points! Also, did you make it to worlds?

[DrBatanga]

We had such a program a couple of years ago, but one of the blocks didn't work anymore though it did individually. Our kids just decided to download the programs in a certain sequence so that the programs would be nicely lined up on the NXT. That worked.

And no, we didn't make it to world, not even to NC State though we had the best robot in each of the three rounds at our qualifying tournament.

Bis du von deutchland??



[DrBatanga]

Ja, ich bin von Deutschland wohne aber seit 10 Jahren in den USA. Unsere Kinder (15 und 12) sind hier geboren und haben beide Staatsbuergerschaften.

[HarmakPaul]

That was amazing, my team wouldn't stand a CHANCE against ya! We came 12th in robot performance in the MA State Championship, and that was 177 points. Say, do you know the Blue Gear Ticks?

[WeFakeItOut]

Just a suggestion, but have you guys tried a "master program"? That would streamline your time in base and take off ~3-4 seconds through your runs. That's what we did, and got Champion's Award and Robot Performance in our local regional in Ohio. Good luck!

[Cloggieclover]

[RURC]

I am noticing that your dump platforms are very stable and do not match the instructions we got for ours. Is there an update for those towers? Ours tip forward at all times. Any help would be great.

[DrBatanga]

See rule 12 on the FLL page challenge/robotgameupdates. That fixed the problem for us.

[jerrylee1157]

how many awards did you guys get?

[DrBatanga]

Two, one for the best robot run at the competition and one for the best robot design.

[jerrylee1157]

@DrBatanga are you going to go to north star for the finals?

[andiboy1997]

Just awesome. It's Great ! i have only One question. Can you say/show me what the 'Teamexercise' was ?, Cause we're on Wednesday. Sorry for my Bad english. I'm German :)

[DrBatanga]

Wir (zumindest der Tobias mit Hut) reden immer noch deutsch auch wenn wir schon lange hier in den USA wohnen. Ich hoffe dass ihr auch ein erfolgreiches Turnier hattet. Das Team musste einen Turm aus verschiedenen Materialien bauen, aber das kann von Turnier zu Turnier unterschiedlich sein. Viele Gruesse an good old Germany!

[FlyingCougarCyborgs]

Nice job! You have a great robot! We are also doing FLL. Do you know how many points you got? We did a video response for our video.

We are competing this Saturday. Good luck at your competition!

[DrBatanga]

The season was so short and we were running out of time to make our run faster. We had programs for almost all missions yielding about 270 points. However, we needed 4 minutes to run them all. At the regional NC competition on 11/5/2011 we won first place with our robot with 192 points.

Good luck at the competition!

[thenxtechnician]

[DrBatanga]

[wjspmyt]

@DrBatanga : Great robot! Just curious.. what caused you to not advance out of the Regional?

[NinJosh97]

That was really slick guys, I watched you at the tournament. (I was on 8578 Bonzai Bananas) Our robot was crap! But watching you guys has showed me how to really look at the robot. I have always made a basic nxt/motor chassis, but you guys designedd the robot to do a certain task, we always just adapted ours. But any ways, That was AWESOME.
