The Results
Our 2015-2016 season was a rough one. Our first competition was the Wilsonville event. Metal shavings in our RoboRio incapacitated our robot for the first three matches, causing us to be playing catch up for the rest of the event. We ended qualifications with a record of 5-6-1 and obtained the 24th seed. We became the 3rd backup team after alliance selection and were not needed. Our second competition was the Philomath event. Our performance itself was good to begin matches, but we soon found the glare from the plastic on the tower ruined our vision system. Later through the matches, a strange event began occurring: as we crossed the low bar, both our robot and a random robot on our team would lose communication, only for us to regain it 30 seconds until the end of the match. We alerted the volunteers and after a few occurrences, we rebooted our computer and they rebooted the field system. Our robot started working after that. We are still not sure what occurred with the robot. We received the 13th seed with a record of 6-8-0. We were a first round pick for the 8th alliance, but lost both matches against the 1st alliance. Without any awards, we did not receive enough points for the regional and our season ended there.
