Re: From the Brain to the Field: Brainstorming a Robot

Don't start with a robot. Start with a strategy and then build a robot to play that strategy.

Our basic process is to come up with a strategy (days 1 and 2) and then define requirements for a design based on that strategy (day 3). Then we go to brainstorming how to meet those requirements including using math, physics, and a lot of JVN spreadsheet time. Once we have a plan we begin to prototype and build and then iterate as much as we can.
