Re: What did you learn from this past build season?
I think we learned (hopefully)...
Not to get overly complex and IF they listen to me (from a strategy perspective) go after low hanging fruit with the ability to go after high hanging later especially in weeks 1 and 2 competitions.
Have the bot built by WEEK 4..allowing two weeks to drive it and see what breaks and learn what it does best. Iterate 30 lbs at a time thereafter. (At least we were underweight finally)
Do not underestimate STRESSES in a game like this and overbuild strength into every component
If we follow these lessons it should help next year. Another successful year and a very good learning year..we have more work to do. Back to the drawing board...next year
We have one more year with the Freshman becoming Seniors before they are leaving the team...we plan to make it and will do our best. As I say to the team... "Another effective bot" that's our goal every year. First year I can say we delivered on it without reservation. We learn.
