Re: Opinion Poll: Proliferation of Prefbricated Parts
I hope I'm not repeating something already written:
Let's follow current trends to one of their likely conclusions.
I pretty sure that in the not too distant future, some company, people, or person will sell a full, high-performance, does-great-on-the-field, FRC robot (the moving vehicle, the software, and the operator controls). They will sell it in the form of a bill-of-materials, plus instructions, plus published software, plus parts ready to be assembled. They will offer it sometime in the middle of build season.
When that happens will FRC be alive and well? Or will that be the beginning of the end?
Discuss ...
