Ramp building

Today we worked on the ramp for our fellow robot to ride up on. In order to have the ramp fold up on our robot, we had to build a slide for the ramp to slip down easily. The problem is that we can't get the ramp to slide down freely. Hopefully, our team will be able to build a working slide for our robot!

Scrimmage with int elegence; on December 21st, 2012

On December 21st, the team TBD scrimmaged with the other Aurora Robotics Team int elegence. We arrived and although we were greeted with hospitality. We had a few issues setting up the board, but after all things were all up working we got three matches against each other, and one collaboration match. The other team has made far progress, and appeared to be not entirely focused on improving what they had, so as we were in progress of both upgrading and fixing our robot, they had a few performance advantages. Also, we did not choose to run autonomous because we were in progress of improving, and they haven't started yet.
