Re: Are the three day builds affecting designs?
One of the hardest things for mid-tier teams to do at a regional or championship, is to distinguish themselves from the pack for alliance consideration. By following a Ri3Ds robot, the team is forced to blend in with all of the other similar robots. They disadvantage themselves.
But Ri3Ds doesn't necessarily detract from the ability to engineer. Take a look at 148 this year. While in concept it is similar to "BoomDone"'s robot, the process of reengineering and iterating the design is a System Engineer's dream come true. There is no doubt that they can (and will) distinguish themselves.
Why reinvent the wheel when you can build a better one?
