First matches

At 7:30 sharp we all gathered in front of Breck and boarded the classic yellow school bus which took us to the competition venue. Today we only have training matches, our goal is to have everything polished to a perfect, so that tomorrow we can just watch and admire Honza on the field with the other robots. The first item on the agenda was checking the legality of the robot, we went through the detailed inspection smoothly and got this task out of the way quickly. At 11 o'clock our time, six in the afternoon in Europe, came the first opportunity to test the robot. The practice matches didn't start until the afternoon, but already at 11 we could test our skills on a scaled-down version of the pitch, similar to the one we had available at Breck.

After 12 o'clock came our first training match. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as we imagined, the robot worked well, but the real playground was slightly different from the copy on Breck, so our calculations were a little off. But these were all just details that can be easily fixed. The second training game caused us a little more trouble, during our auto phase, the shooting engine went out and we were toothless. But these are all fixable problems and our hopes and morale remain very high.
