BattleCry6 @ WPI!

BattleCry6, the latest of the 2005 season competitions for Gus Robotics can be accurately described as a bittersweet competition. Despite ranking fourth in the qualification rounds, including scoring the second highest score ever this year with 129 points (thanks to teams 40 and 121), our robot also suffered its worst damage yet this year. However, during the quarter finals, Gus was tipped over. While we were trying to right ourselves, another robot rammed us shattering the sprocket that powers our arm. For most offensive teams, the loss of their arm could spell disaster. But not for Gus. In less than five minutes between the matches, we totally dismantled the arm assembly and became a defensive robot. The lack of our arm did not stop our alliance from making it into the semifinals. Thanks Buzz Team 175 and Chaos Team 131 for your great job during the elimination rounds! Pictures from the event can be found in the Event Pictures pages.
