Re: Who needs FLL any more?
I am a former FLL student (back in ma day the field was all cut wood and tape lines, none of these fancy schmancy printed mats) and distinctly recall seeing T3's old robots at events. For those of you who don't recall T3's bots back in the old days they were intimidating. I saw their 2003 bot in their shop over the weekend and it STILL intimidates me. Here was a machine that weighs more than I do now and has a wingspan of 27'. Yet, as an FLL student I just kept wishing I could get to build cool stuff like that. To me those were the real robots. They were big and fast. I was working on their little brothers because I wasnt ready to work on the big boys.
Cubeletes are a nifty idea but not at all what would have inspired me as a kid.
And Legos are just for boys? Tell that to the team leader of 3450...
