Back at the days of 2 vs. 2, we had to build really tough robots for competition... Those were the days when our robot was REALLY tough...
We were pushing, beating, falling, hanging... It was a piece of rock! Trust me, even if it crash down the ramp, it will still play the game fine. We once drove the robot down some stairs, it did a flip and drop on the corner... it worked perfectly right after the drop!
I still remember hearing about how our 1999 robot heavily damage a Delphi robot at Rumble, and that Delphi robot still managed to get on the puck even with the drive train non-functional... I heard it was using its arm to slowly drag itself over to the puck....
Those were the days when other robots were REALLY tough...
Maybe we will see some tough robots next year, maybe we won't. Either way it won't really matter, we will all have fun anyway.
It doesn't matter how the competition will be next year, as long as the people have gone through the process of changes from one form of competition to another through out the year... It's the growth that counts. Simply looking at the evolution of the robots are really cool. I only feel bad that some of the people have haven't seen 2 vs. 2 before, or even 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 back at 1998.
