Re: First Robotics In Popular Mechanics
buildmaster: that is part, but not all, of it. It leaves out all the pictures of teams at the back.
Buzz: I agree, moving to a three year game would completely destroy the ability of rookies to actually compete. Imagine being a rookie team, joining on the third year of a game, and going out against a team with two previous years of refinements and observations of other teams (you know how at the first regional, people are always like "why didn't I think of that?" well, those other designs could be then incorporated into the next year's bot, and by year 3, all of the experienced teams would have superb, similar bots.) I also think that this would put a severe dent in gracious professionalism- why show off how your bot works if they can then copy it for next year? A 3 year cycle would SUCK!
