Re: A Recycle Rush Reflection

Kinda funny
My biggest complaint with this year is what to do with the robot(s) at the end of the season. We generally keep one in for demonstrations or teaching. We already have the same drive train on past assembled bots so that's useless. We have made "forklift bots" in the past, so no need for displaying that element. And showing our sponsors, potential sponsors, admin or community how we pick up totes or a garbage can truely isn't very glamorous. So, I guess I need to agree with some of the thought process represented in this thread. This game has aspects of boredom. I know that the experience my students had was phenomenal but we were lucky to end up in the 2-5% winning two regionals. So obviously my/our opinions are a bit skewed. But having a forklift sitting around isn't very exciting versus a frisbee thrower or basketball bot that gets others a bit excited when they see it.
