Match 56 by Opal
Great match! Second stage hopper roof came off, intake isn’t going back into the bot, some alignment issues there. We have some remaining quest looseness, it popped out of it’s mount once again.
Pit is now working on addressing these issues with many hypothesis and ideas to jump in with!
Match 42 by Opal
This was a good match the intake took quite a few hits but we were operating well. it was a tough matchup but we still managed to give it our all. We will need to check the whole robot for damage and prepair fo the next match
Pit team is going to make sure to fully check the intake and make sure the rest of the robot is in working order.
QUAL MATCH #31 by Lucia
Red alliance unfortunately lost the match 477 to 838.
Going into this match we knew it would be tough as it was against some of the highest scoring bots in our division. Here’s a little break down of what drive team reported:
We had some troubles with our alliance members beaching and ended up being the main scorer on red. We did play well and score high (higher than projected) considering those factors.
Auto went great, but we didn’t quite squeeze by to win it. Full field passing was a little shaky but the right idea. Overall it was a good match fought well.
Now queuing for match #42. Heads high NoMythic, heads high
QUAL MATCH #13 by Lucia
Red alliance wins 710 to 612!! A new Galileo record!
Our auto got a little bit messed up when getting over the bump and there was some odometry issues during the initial set up. We ended up losing auto…. But we got a chance to smoothly and carefully reset the odometry to ensure the rest of the match went well.
We scored high, played smart, and came off the field in one piece! There are a few more kinks to workout, but we are past the majority of any issues that came up previously.
QUAL MATCH #1
Despite heavy defense, we took qual match number one blank to blank. Our auto ran spectacular, scoring nearly 90 points, and in teleop we got around defense and scored even more before our intake broke, after which we sheltered against the wall to preserve our intake from further damage. Our pit is working now on repairs and you can see us next in qual match #13!
