Re: [FTC]: FTC Game Platform for 2009-2010
 

I think that this year, there were plenty of good ways to score, and I do agree that teams tend to ... not "innovate" when they see another design they like on youtube or whatnot.

1. the obvious dump out and dump into the center. Lots of robots had this as a CORE, but the robots with the variations made the difference.

2. The epic scissor lift. The scissor life was extremely beastly.

3. Treads. yes, believe it or not, Team "Raising Corn to the power 3" effectively used lego made treads to create an extremely belting system that worked extremely well.

But each year, FTC has one core design, and a few creative designs from teams who took the time to think up an exceptionally innovative solution.
