I have seen many teams with sub par robots look like kings out on the playing field because they simply have to use their robot. Sure, money and engineers definately help you be a team to compete with every year, however, I have always said, give me a robot that will drive everytime it goes out on the field, and I can find a way to win with it. Thats what makes FIRST so exciting...every team has a chance.


I agree with the part that you don't need tons of money, but I still say that you either need good engineers, or <i>great</i> student engineers who can help. Strategy is definitely important, but if your robot doesn't work, then strategy means nothing. It's also important to note that all of the teams mentioned as being "good" or "great" all have track records for having great combinations of both engineering <i>and</i> strategy. Just my thoughts.

Good Luck to everyone this year from Team 71.
