Re: Robot Quick Build - Veteran Teams
I am glad our team didn't do a "quick build" this year. The decision to go with an asymmetric square chassis required a few days of thought about gameplay and general robot design. That thought would have been biased to preclude the design that we ultimately chose, if we had "quickly" selected either of the options for which detailed build instructions are provided in the AM14U kit.
Lesson for next year: start building your robot as soon as possible, but not sooner.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
