Re: WOW factor

No WoW for us. We're keeping it simple, solid and consistent instead of flashy, full of bling bling:cool:

Re: WOW factor

No wow factor for us either. Just a plain old machine.

I hope to be able to say, "WOW, we put a working robot in the crate".

/Begin Scene/

Date: Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Time: 5:30 PM

Location: My apartment

I enter my apartment to see my wife sitting watching TV.

"You're still here? You haven't left me yet?" I say.

"Yep and nope," she replies.

"Wow."

Re: WOW factor

My wife sticks around too. She helps with the team, but I feel like I go home to sleep and not much more now.

We're going for a little WOW all over.

Re: WOW factor

WOW! I realized I haven't watched TV for a month until yesterday. ;)
Not too much wow on our bot, unless, nah I shouldn't put the disco ball on the robot this year!

They'll be saying Wow when 816 and 11 Are on the Same Side of the Field at Jersey.

Re: WOW factor

As usual, our robot won't be pretty, it won't have a cool paint job, or any awesome-looking metal parts (water jet or whatever it is). We hope our "WOW" factor this year would be winning the regional for the first time since the creation of the team.

Re: WOW factor

My team isn't really going for wow factor, we're trying to keep it simple and win.

Re: WOW factor

Re: WOW factor

Our kicker. Early prototypes of it were nicknamed The Death Machine, due to the fact that it spins so fast.

Re: WOW factor

We're just hoping we can get the ball over the bump... So far it can... from about a foot away. Eh, mech's fault.

Re: WOW factor

To us it's having all the robots at the competition inspected working and not missing matches. That's WOW!

I think you are seeing how the effects of practice and TONS of fine tuning can help you excel in an area where most are mediocre. So maybe instead of asking "What is the most important", you should ask "What can I do really well that most teams will overlook"
