Re: Robot in 3 Days : Feedback

As a 15-year participant in FIRST I am impressed with "Robot in 3 Days" ability to product a robot as they do.

I am sadden to see all the FIRST students viewing their site wanting to copy this concept instead of having to think to develop their on their own robot concept. I thought the purpose of FIRST was to show students HOW TO apply STEM in their thought process.

Giving student the answer up front does not really help them to think outside the box.

I do agree that many new teams and teams with limited technical support and resources find what is presented as a "God sent". I will agree it is.

I would like to see the "Robot in 3 Days" roll some STEM into their presentation so students can see how and why the robot was built the way is was.
