I have never brainstormed for the FIRST competition but I do know from other experiences that NO IDEA IS A BAD IDEA

I know sometimes its hard to accept it when someone starts talking about the robot flying, but as Jessica said "You just never know where that "great idea" is going to come from".

I remember back in the lego competition I was in last year a team member mentioned a track that would pull the robot up onto ours and then the bot would drive to the edge and reverse the motor and throw him off. (Sumo wrestling, also the robots were autonomous) while it didnt seem likely it ended up turning into a VERY effective set of upward turning gears which was very good at removing traction from the other robot. Making pushing easier.

So if someone throws out a crazy idea just see about using the concept and simplifying it to a feasable one
