Re: Are the three day builds affecting designs?

I think they definitely had an effect on lots of teams robots. When you look at teams that are using El Toro they refer to it exactly as that. In my opinion I don't like tbis very much. Student should be the ones that are working on the design and not rely on the three day builds to do it for them. I was the only one on my team to watch the robot in 3 day builds and we were able to come up with a different solution to the game. Then again there is only so many ways to build a robot for this game. How you do it though, like a catapult for example, should be based off of student design.
