You know, some (most?) of those types of teams seem to have the idea that you need to design the robot first and then fit the strategy to the robot. That's one way to do it... but it usually doesn't work out very well.


More competitive robots = good. Playing with and against 5 or 6 poorly-executed copies of the same robot = not so good. I'll give it a couple of years more at least before I make up my mind.


As a note, 1197 did attempt an El Toro last year after seeing Ri3D. Our high roller bar was slurping up balls with no issues, and the El Toro had Issues with a capital I, made maybe to Week 3.
