This Week in FIRST Tech Challenge Oregon
What we saw in during League Meet 1 events 
In League Meet 1 weeks we saw most robots able to score minerals in the depots, quite a few robots parking partially or completely in the crater, a few robots latching to the lander and successfully deploying and reattaching in end game, and very few robots are scoring in the lander. 

A modest number of robots had some sort of autonomous program.  A few robots attempting to drop team markers, a few robots attempting to move the gold mineral off its mark. Partially parked in the crater seems to be the most successfully accomplished task.

PREP FOR LEAGUE MEET 2 
Teams are still lollygagging getting through inspection. ugh....  This is slowing down the schedule. Please show up on time and ready. 

  • League Meets and Tournaments are events for play, not redesigning your robot. 
    • Use your meeting time to do major changes to your bots.  
    • Use League Meet time to get your robot inspected early, tweak what needs to be fixed, practice, scout and be ready to play.   
  • Show up at your event ready to go through Inspection. 
  • Have the Robot Inspection sheet (left column) completed and a blank Field Inspection form ready to hand to the inspector.

  1. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.https://theedvolution.com/
