Before you go and start buying materials for your robot for the 2003 competition, make sure that you have carefully thought through the answer to this question: are you absolutely sure that the wheels you used last year will be at all relevant for next year's game?
Think back on all the feedback, suggestions, and recommendations provided on many CD threads, following the 2002 championships, in team feedback forms, and the team forums during the summer. Think about the breadth of potential game designs, robot objectives, field/robot/game materials, etc. Think about what the game might be like if FIRST actually listens to just 10% of those suggestions.
Are you sure you want to be spending money now for materials you think you might need, based on LAST YEARS game?
