Robot in 3 days /72 hours
 
We are in for a fantastic year. We are going to have something no first team(s) have every had available to them. Not 1 but 4 fully built robots in the first 3 days from some of the best in the business. Get on Facebook and like there pages and get this posted on your wall and friends walls. Let make this season the most competitive first has ever seen.

Correct, 2 from Build Blitz (JVN and Copioli), and 3 from Ri3D (Ri3D 1.0, AndyMark, and Boom. Done).

I'm hoping that some "to be announced" team does the 6th, so we can see a Week 0 match :eek:

This is going to be cool, I'm looking for some way to put all 5 up on the screen at the same time to watch all the action.

This could work

What we need to do is get on Facebook and invite all of our robotics friends and people looking into starting teams these sites.

5 really does seem like someone else (perhaps another IFI group) should make a 6th and then play an IFI v Ri3D match early in build season.

I truly can't think of a better way to mitigate the problem of stifled design diversity that was apparent in 2013. Ri3D in 2013 did seem to limit the diversity we saw in designs at the competitions.

It seemed that this is because more outlandish designs were never tried, since a working design example was readily available.

I expect that 2014, with 5 (or possibly 6?) Ri3Ds to use as an example, what we'll see is increased diversity, but still a stifling of the really off the wall ideas.

I really wish I was excited as you guys about all this robot in three days stuff. While I am of course going to analyze the robots that are produced, I really think there is going to be a lot of parity. Most of the games now are not diverse so there are only so many robots the average team can build. Sorry to be a buzz kill but that's how I see this whole thing ending up.

Middle and top teams are unlikely to copy one of these robots verbatim.

That leaves the rest.... who likely will just have a working drive at best. OR, a copy of one of these bots.

Which would you prefer?

I'm not interested so much in the final robot fabrications.

I'm excited about listening to the "design thoughts" of some of the top mentors in FRC. Hearing how they approach the design from "this is what we see in the rules" through "strategy should be" into "design that executes the strategy". It's the stuff you hear them talk about in general terms (and somewhat in specific terms in Karthik's talks) But now, from the comfort of your home, you get to hear them talk about it and put it in action.

Master Class in FRC by 25 top instructors in 72 hours. Priceless!
