The games every year are starting to resemble past games, although the game and design committee is starting to be smart about it. Only using the past pieces of the games to help us enhance our engineering skills with the advancement of technology every year. For instance this year's climbing is similar to the part of the game "Breakaway" from the 2010 season. Only a select amount of students will remember or be around to notice that figuring FRC teams are made up of high school students who move on to college after 4 years. The ones who do remember or were around help the new kids with their designs in order to best fit the competition. I feel as if this is a very great idea. As soon as the game was revealed I had thought of two different shooting designs, one being the skeet shooter type release and the other being the exact shooter this robot here possess. This is a spectacular robot and I hope to get to see it in person very soon, however with these videos and designs going viral in the FRC community I believe teams will create designs in relation to this robot but will expand the ideas considering they have 6 weeks and didn't aim for 3 days. Good Luck, great bot, and hope everyone is having fun!
