In comparison to 1999, the 2000 game seemed tame at the time. However, watching this video it certainly was rougher then anything today.
One thing to realize is that prior to 2005, most teams had significantly less power in their drivetrain then now. The kit transmissions that accept two CIMs and the introduction of the AndyMark shifting transmissions have really increased the speed of the average robot, and thus the violence of the collisions. For example, in 2000, an average robot went 4-6 ft/sec. There's a lot more energy in a collision at 12 ft/sec then at 4. |
Is there a better way to kill time than watching throwback FIRST vids? I don't think so...
Watching all the old matches brings back the memories of seeing these robots on the field and being absolutely awe struck.
