2009-07-01: RC2009: A Look Back on the Third Day
Today was a very exciting, thrilling day for the whole team but also for me. I spent about 1.5 hours of my working time watching our matches. Well, as the hours I typically spend in the institute are well above the required minimum, this should not really be a big issue. Finally, this is also robotics, so part of my work anyway.
There’s actually not much to say about the performance of our team. It is like in every tournament: we’re getting constantly better! The match against Stuttgart must have been really nice, according to some voices that reached me from Graz. The only things I want to post now are some impressions elm sent my some minutes ago. We’re definitely not the only team that is able to produce big bangs, Tech United is capable of doing this as well. The only different in efficiency is that they need two robots for this to be accomplished.

Then, finally the 1. RFC Stuttgart managed to reduce their TTBSB (Time To Break the Safety Boundary) to only 2.5 days. Great done, guys! :)

So long. Tomorrow, there will be probably less activity here as I’m attending a workshop. So maybe see or read you again on Friday!
