Re: Will Your Robot Be High Goaling, Scoring Gears, AND Climbing?

Maybe I see things a bit differently...but I look at three different scoring methods, with three different levels of reward, difficulty, and effort to make the mechanism. One of them has what I consider to be a very high effort to make a very effective mechanism, the other two will take a medium effort to make. Our team is going for the two relatively easy scoring methods, and doing our best to ignore the really difficult one (even though it is obviously the most fun).

Should be an interesting build season.

I was also thinking back over the past several games, and noticed that lately there have been games that require added mechanisms to accomplish the end game, where if you go back several years, that was not the case. FRC robot design is getting more challenging.
