A lot of people have been mentioning that the superior robots are something to strive for. I'm just wondering what high school student has the skill or knowledge to even compare to a professional engineer? It would be an excellent goal if we were all had the same resources, but that goal is unattainable. I'm sorry to say this, but high school students have almost no chance next to them. They don't have the training, facilities, or experience. |
Ummmmmm.....in 2008 I was a senior and built a swerve that made JVN jealous (he said it himself to one of his colleagues)
Also the team i was a part of 1625 had a self employed architect as the main "engineering" mentor
oh, also we went 3-2 whole season against them in 2008 with their beautiful piece of engineering simplicity, and then had a robot in 2009 I think they'll admit came out swinging better than they did.
If these the top tier wasn't around who would I strive to beat?
I have the utmost respect for them.
step it up, stop trying to validate mediocrity
